It's cut day at Wentworth where players are battling to make it through to the weekend at the BMW PGA Championship.

The DP World Tour's flagship event is one of the five Rolex Series tournaments on the schedule, with big money, world ranking points and Race to Dubai points on the line...but only for those who can make the cut.

So, how many will make the weekend at Wentworth?

Following the first 36 holes, the cut will see around half of the field go home empty handed.

That's because the top 65 and ties make it through to the weekend, with the score required to advance usually in the +1 to -3 region.

There will be a one-tee start over the final two rounds from the 1st tee with groups playing in twos.

This year's BMW PGA Championship saw a unique two-tee start for the first time, which was introduced due to six extra players being added to the field. That's why players have been going off both the 1st and 9th holes.
