When the week began, there were 16 golfers who played for LIV Golf that teed it up at Royal Liverpool for the 151st British Open.
However, not all of them are going to play 72 holes.
There aren’t any LIV golfers in contention – only three are under par after 36 holes – but there are a handful who earned tee times for the weekend, including three past Open champions.
The low 70 players and ties made the cut at the British Open, with 76 advancing to the weekend. Brian Harman holds the lead at 10 under, five clear of the field.
Take a look at which LIV golfers advanced to the weekend at Royal Liverpool and which ones are packing their bags.

Reed, who shot 1 under Thursday and said it was the worst he could’ve shot, fell back Friday with a 74, but it’s enough for the 2018 Masters champion to play the weekend.
