Scheffler Run of 78 Made Cuts Ends at Scottish Open
The PGA Tour said Scheffler’s 78-event run ended after he finished even-par 142 and missed a 6-foot par putt at The Renaissance Club.
On Friday, Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open, ending his 78-event streak. The world number one finished at even-par 142 at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.
Friday's exit ended a streak lasting 1,428 days, marking Scheffler's first missed cut since the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. He had avoided an early exit for nearly four years before this result.
Stumbling to a 2-over 72 on Friday, Scheffler finished tied for 88th after missing a short par putt on his final hole. "I didn't take advantage of those today," he told reporters.
Heading to Royal Birkdale Golf Club early, Scheffler will prepare for his British Open title defense. He remains the +500 favorite to win the upcoming major championship.
Tiger Woods holds the all-time record of 142 consecutive cuts made over a seven-year stretch from 1998 to 2005. Scheffler's 78-event run, while impressive, remains significantly shorter than Woods' historic mark.
