Bryson DeChambeau's incredible run at recent PGA Championships came to an early end this week at Aronimink, as the LIV Golf star headlines the list of notables to miss the cut.

DeChambeau entered the week riding back-to-back runner-up finishes at the PGA Championship with a T-4 in 2023 his worst showing in the last three years. However, that form was nowhere to be found in Philadelphia with an opening-round 76 essentially removing him from the picture.

The two-time U.S. Open champion was once again doomed by dismal approach play and a suspect short game. DeChambeau finished his two rounds ranked 155th of 156 players around the green and 97th in approach.

His second-round 71 saw him finish 111th over 36 holes and sit three back of the cut. It's his second straight missed major cut after he failed to see the weekend at the Masters, and puts him at an astonishing 13-over in his last four rounds at golf's biggest events.

Tommy Fleetwood was the highest-ranked player in the field to miss the cut, as the World No. 6 fell just shy of the number with rounds of 72 and 73. It's the Englishman's second missed cut in his last four majors.

Adam Scott's 99th straight major start will be a short one after a second-round 76 saw the Australian miss the cut by four. He's joined by Viktor Hovland, J.J. Spaun, and Tyrrell Hatton among the other notables headed home early.

One other player that won't be seeing the weekend is Garrick Higgo. The South African was arguably the story of the day on Thursday when he was penalized two shots for showing up seconds late for his tee time. He was still able to shoot 1-under 69 in Round 1 to set himself up in good shape heading to Friday. However, his score ballooned in Round 2 with a 76 to miss the cut by one shot.
