The Masters cut line: Who missed out at Augusta National?

The world's best golfers descend on Augusta National to contest the first major of the year this week, but some will not make the weekend at The Masters.

With between 90-100 golfers in the initial field each year, a cut is needed at The Masters in order to make play more manageable for the contenders over the final two rounds.

There was no cut in place between the maiden tournament in 1934 all the way through until 1956, when 101 players were in the field and a 36-hole cut was first introduced.

The cut rule has changed a few times in the years since, last in 2013.

Since the 77th edition the 36-hole cut ahead of the weekend has stood at the top 50 players, including ties.

This means that cut can fluctuate depending on ties in the top 50, while players outside the top fifty but within 10 shots of the 36-hole leader also make the weekend.

This year's 36-hole cut was +3, the following players missed out.
