Breaking down cut line for the 2023 Valspar Championship

The PGA TOUR teed off the second round of the 2023 Valspar Championship on Friday at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida. Adam Schenk is in the lead at -7 with An Byeong-hun just behind at -6 as the second round begins.

The first trios teed off on Friday at 7:40 a.m. ET, with the afternoon groups beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET. It should be about 5:00 p.m. before we have a solid idea of what the final cut line should be, but many participants will know they’re heading home after holing out on 18.
