The cut for the 2025 U.S. Open golf championship was the top 60 players and ties after the first 36 holes. The cut line was projected and finalized at around +7 over par due to the challenging course conditions at Oakmont Country Club. This means players who scored +7 or better after two rounds made the cut to play the weekend rounds. The field started with 156 players and was reduced to about 60-plus players who advanced. This cut line is tougher compared to other majors like the PGA Championship and British Open, where 70 players make the cut, and The Masters, which cuts to the top 50 and ties. The U.S. Open does not use the "10-shot rule" anymore, which was removed in 2011 to keep the cut field manageable. This cut line at +7 aligns with the nature of the tough course and history of high cut lines at Oakmont in previous U.S. Opens.
