The 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur came to an end (sort of) Thursday for just more than half the field.
The 36-hole cut was made after the first two rounds at Champions Retreat Golf Club, coming at 3-over 147. Thirty-five golfers made the cut, meaning 37 won’t get to compete in the final round Saturday at Augusta National Golf Club.
This is the first year more than 30 players have made the weekend, as it was the top-30 and ties who earned tee times Saturday at Augusta National.
Every golfer in the ANWA field will have a practice round Friday at Augusta National Golf.
However, there were a few notables who missed the cut, including six of the top 10 players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Here’s a look at the notables who missed the cut at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.

The lone defending champ in the field was thought to have made the cut, but she was penalized a stroke for slow play on the 17th hole and ended up missing by one. Last year, she was penalized four shots for playing from the wrong place.

In the past two years, Stone, a fifth-year at LSU, finished T-2 and eighth at ANWA, but after rounds of 75-77, she’ll miss the cut for the first time.

The 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion finished T-14 last year and opened with a 73, but as was the case for numerous players, difficult conditions Thursday resulted in an 79 for Schofill, a fifth-year at Auburn, and her third MC in four tries at ANWA.

The 2021 NCAA individual champion and 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur semifinalist shot 1 under in the opening round, but a 77 in Thursday’s winds moved the senior at Stanford one shot outside of the cut line.
