AI Summary

The PGA Tour's longest active made-cut streak has concluded as Scottie Scheffler finished at even par through 36 holes at the 2026 Scottish Open, falling two shots short of the projected cut line of 2 under. This result ends his impressive run of 78 consecutive weekends starting tournaments on the PGA Tour.

Scheffler's streak ranks as the fifth-longest in PGA Tour history, behind legends such as Hale Irwin (86), Jack Nicklaus (105), Byron Nelson (113), and Tiger Woods (142). Notably, the last time Scheffler missed a cut was at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Classic, a staggering 1,428 days ago.

In 2026, Scheffler became the second player to see his historic cut streak end, following Xander Schauffele, who had his streak of 72 events snapped earlier in January. With this latest outcome, the world No. 1 will spend the weekend off in Scotland, which was initially intended for fine-tuning his game ahead of the Open Championship title defense.

After Scheffler's exit, Matt Fitzpatrick now holds the longest active streak on the PGA Tour, extending his run to 28 consecutive cuts made by finishing at 8 under in Scotland. The current standings for longest active made-cut streaks are:

  • Matt Fitzpatrick - 28
  • Hideki Matsuyama - 27
  • Ryo Hisatsune - 19
  • Cameron Young - 19
  • Rory McIlroy - 15

Despite questions surrounding his recent performance since winning at The American Express, Scheffler has recorded four runner-up finishes and five top 5s this year. However, his showing at the Scottish Open raises concerns about his current form.

On a positive note, Scheffler now has two extra days to prepare at Royal Birkdale, the site of this year’s Open Championship, allowing him to adjust before defending the Claret Jug.
