Second round

Tee times were delayed due to a fatal traffic accident near Valhalla Golf Club, which led to a police response in the area and created difficulty for players entering the club. World number one Scottie Scheffler was arrested following an incident with a police officer while attempting to enter the venue and taken to a nearby jail; he was charged and released in time to make his delayed 10:08 am tee time.[15]

Play was suspended at 8:42 pm Eastern Time due to darkness, with 18 players remaining on the course. The cut came at 141 (one under par), as soft and calm conditions produced low scoring for the field. Notables to miss the cut included numbers four, five and six in the Official World Golf Ranking: Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, and Ludvig Åberg, and four-time PGA champion Tiger Woods.[16] Also missing the cut was PGA Professional Michael Block, who finished T15 in 2023, while Jeremy Wells and Braden Shattuck made the cut.
