mikeintopeka Found this and didn't realize it was a recent change......
The current cut rule at The Masters Tournament is this:
Following the second round, golfers with the low 50 scores, plus ties, plus any golfer within 10 strokes of the lead, advance to play the final two rounds.
Therefore, if the golfer in 51st place is 11 strokes behind the leader after 36 holes, only 50 golfers advance to play the weekend. But more than 50 make the cut when there are ties for 50th place following the second round, or when golfers outside the Top 50 are still within 10 strokes of the 36-hole leader.
To put it the other way around - who misses the cut at The Masters - you can state it this way:
Those outside the Top 50 plus ties and not within 10 of the lead miss the cut - they do not get to play the third and fourth rounds.
The current Masters cut rule has been in effect since the 2013 edition of this major championship.
