Second round

Friday, May 17, 2024
Saturday, May 18, 2024

Tee times were delayed due to a fatal traffic accident near Valhalla Golf Club, which led to a police response in the area and created difficulty for players entering the club. World number one Scottie Scheffler was arrested following an incident with a police officer while attempting to enter the venue and taken to a nearby jail; he was charged and released in time to make his delayed 10:08 am tee time.[15]

Play was suspended at 8:42 pm Eastern Time due to darkness, with 18 players remaining on the course. The cut came at 141 (one under par), as soft and calm conditions produced low scoring for the field. Notables to miss the cut included numbers four, five and six in the Official World Golf Ranking: Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, and Ludvig Åberg, and four-time PGA champion Tiger Woods.[16] Also missing the cut was PGA Professional Michael Block, who finished T15 in 2023, while Jeremy Wells and Braden Shattuck made the cut. The one under par cutline is the lowest in PGA Championship history, and it shares the lowest in major championship history with both the 1990 and 2006 Open Championships.

Starting eight strokes off the lead, Shane Lowry shot a bogey-free 62 to move into contention. This tied the record for lowest round in a major championship. Xander Schauffele maintained his lead, although it was now a co-lead alongside 2020 champion Collin Morikawa.[17]
