Jon Rahm posts 78 and 77 to finish last and miss cut at PGA Championship

On 18 September 2026 at Wentworth, Jon Rahm carded rounds of 78 and 77 to finish last and miss the cut at the PGA Championship; Tommy Fleetwood also missed the cut, finishing at plus three, while Patrick Reed withdrew mid-round through injury.

Rahm ended the 36 holes at 11 over par and did not stop for media duties, though the tournament report noted possible extenuating circumstances. The Spaniard is awaiting the imminent arrival of his fourth child and had referred to that before play began. The coverage also referenced the LIV backdrop: Rahm is fully expected to depart the ailing circuit when the formalities of a voluntary bankruptcy filing are completed, a situation the article says is now in the hands of the courts.

Across his two Wentworth rounds Rahm produced three birdies, 10 bogeys and two double bogeys, totals that left him well adrift of the cut line. His combined scores of 78 and 77 left him 11 over par for the tournament after two rounds.

Fleetwood required a reversal of form after opening with a 73 on Thursday and ultimately recorded a 74 on day two to finish at plus three. The 15th hole troubled him both days — a bogey five in the first round followed by a double bogey on the same hole in round two — and he managed three birdies in the second round but still slipped to a 74.

Reed, who had appeared a contender after round one, played his first nine holes in 44, nine over par, on day two. He grasped his left wrist after a pulled tee shot on the 10th, withdrew from the tournament and headed straight for medical treatment.

Adam Scott supplied an element of normality, carding back-to-back 67s; the 46-year-old Australian backed up a 67 with an identical score. “Let’s put the majors aside for a minute,” he said. “I think there’s the Players Championship, Wentworth and the Australian Open for me at that level of importance. So it would mean a lot? Absolutely. I mean, it would be huge.” He added that he would try to enjoy the next couple of days to get the best out of himself.

JJ Spaun shot a 66 to move to eight under and voiced surprise at his omission from Brandt Snedeker’s Presidents Cup team. “It was disappointing to be left off,” the winner of last year’s US Open said. “I was the odd man out.”

The Presidents Cup is scheduled for next weekend at Medinah, and the report states that Scott and Ryan Fox, the Open champion, will fly straight to Illinois from this tournament.
