What is Cuts Made?
Tournaments where the player survived the halfway cut and played the weekend.
How it's calculated
This is a published record for the season or career, restated here without adjustment or recalculation. Entries, finishes, prize money and ranking positions are all determined by official scoring and administration, and OTIS reads the published result. Where a figure was revised after the fact — a disqualification applied late, a ranking recalculated — the revised figure is what appears here, because the alternative is preserving a number the official record no longer stands behind.
How to read it
Higher is better, though it depends on how many events were entered. As a share of starts it is a reasonable floor-level consistency measure.
What it doesn't say
Counting statistics reward opportunity as well as quality. A player who enters more events has more chances to accumulate them, so comparing totals between players with different schedules — or different career lengths — measures availability as much as ability. Rates and per-round figures answer that question better than totals do. They are also era-dependent in ways that are easy to miss: purses, field sizes and the number of events available have all changed across the window covered here, so a total from one decade is not directly comparable with the same total from another. And a season in progress is not a season: these figures keep moving until it closes.
