MC has various meanings in the Golf category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of MC in Golf.
Missed Cut (MC) in golf refers to a player who fails to qualify for the later rounds of a tournament due to their score being above the cut line set after the initial rounds. Professional golf tournaments, such as those on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LPGA Tour, typically have a cut after two rounds (36 holes) to determine which players continue into the weekend rounds.
The cut line is established based on overall scoring trends, with only a predetermined number of players advancing to the final rounds. Those who MC do not compete in the remaining rounds and do not earn prize money unless it's a no-cut event. A missed cut can impact a golfer’s ranking points, confidence, and season standings, making consistent performance in early rounds crucial for success.
