We're monitoring the cut line at the 2026 Rocket Classic to track which PGA Tour golfers will and won't make the weekend cut. And the biggest star of the past week enters today's round on the projected cut line.
Jackson Koivun, who picked up his first PGA Tour victory last week, shot 1 under in Round 1 at his fourth professional start. Making the cut would go a long way toward locking in a spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs, as the 21-year-old rookie came into Detroit Golf Club five spots out of the top 70.
Several high-ranking golfers enter Round 2 on the cutting edge, including Si Woo Kim and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark. Keep scrolling for the latest updates from Detroit.
