Glover is searching for his first win since the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He has tumbled down the Official World Golf Ranking since and is currently outside the top 100.
Victory would represent Glover's seventh PGA Tour title whilst Hodges is aiming to pick up his first win since the 2023 3M Open.
Johnson told reporters he feels like he is still playing good enough to win.
Whilst the 50-year-old has won on the over-50s circuit, he has not an official PGA Tour event since the 2015 Open Championship at St Andrews.
"My focus right now is hydration, recovery, food, and sleep, packing," he said. "Oh, damn it, I got to pack.
"Other than that - it's normal. Saturday nights, that's the norm."
The cut line fell at three-under.
Notables to miss the cut included the highly-rated Jackson Koivun, 21, who made his first start since turning professional.
