2026 Masters Leaderboard Update

Thursday, Round 1

Rory McIlroy surged to the top after a blistering first round, posting a five‑under‑par 67 that put him in the early share of the lead. He joined a tight group that also featured Sam Burns and newcomer J.J. Spaun, who posted a solid 66.

Friday, Round 2

McIlroy maintained his momentum, extending his lead to three strokes as the field moved through the tricky Amen Corner. Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm both posted even‑par rounds to secure spots inside the cut line, while DeChambeau’s homemade clubs drew attention despite a modest score.

The Cut Line

The cut is set at +2, with 66 players advancing. Notable names missing include former champion Bryson DeChambeau, who sits just above the line, and several past Ryder Cup veterans.

What’s at Stake

With the Green Jacket still up for grabs, a hot start, a stumble at Amen Corner or a late‑day charge on Sunday could reshape the leaderboard at any moment. Fans will be watching closely as the tournament heads into the weekend.
