Michael Kim and Bryson DeChambeau are among the players to have made the cut at the PGA Championship, with rounds one and two now complete.
The cut line at the PGA Championship was set at one-over, with a long list of high-profile PGA Tour and LIV Golf players falling below it.
Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose have all missed out, along with Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed.
World number one Scottie Scheffler has, however, made the cut at Quail Hollow, along with Masters champion Rory McIlroy.
But it is Jhonattan Vegas who leads the way heading into the weekend, with the Venezuelan sitting two shots clear at the top.

And one-time PGA Tour winner Kim, who is very vocal on social media, has already expressed his delight at progressing.
Among other notes in his latest update on X, the American wrote: “As so many LIV fanboys told me yesterday I don’t know what weekends at majors are like, I’m excited to find out!”

Kim also discussed the conditions and the leaderboard in general, saying: “If someone had told me I was tied with Rory and Xander [Schauffele] after two days, I would have signed up in a heartbeat haha.
“Happy to make another cut at a major. Made two nerve-racking putts on the last two. It’s a pretty bunched-up leaderboard and I’ll be able to move up a lot if I can shoot a good round tomorrow morning before the wind starts blowing.”
Michael Kim continues LIV Golf joke after making the cut at the PGA Championship
It is, however, Kim’s LIV Golf remark that undoubtedly stands out above all else, particularly amid the ongoing tussle it has with the PGA Tour.
Kim took a public dig at DeChambeau earlier in the week, saying LIV Golf players only play three-round tournaments outside of the majors.
And given the popularity of the latter and indeed the passion of LIV Golf fans, Kim quickly came under fire for his tongue-in-cheek remark.
It is, however, DeChambeau who currently holds the bragging rights over his compatriot heading into the weekend.
The current US Open champion occupies T17 place in the leaderboard on three-under, posting rounds of 71 and 68.
Kim meanwhile is down in T62 on one-over, although as he mentioned, McIlroy and Schauffele join him on that score.
The 31-year-old, who turned pro in 2013, finished T27 at The Masters last month, with his only PGA Tour win coming at the 2018 John Deere Classic.
