​Tiger Woods’ nearly untouchable record remains secure thanks to Scottie Scheffler’s early exit at the Scottish Open. This recap originally appeared on The Sporting News, which also notes The Sporting News as a preferred source. Scottie Scheffler failed to make the cut at this week’s Scottish Open, which ultimately means Woods’ streak of consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour remains intact. Before Friday’s round concluded, Scheffler had already missed the cut, preventing him from extending his run.
Scheffler had opened Thursday with a 2-under 69 but slipped to 2-over on Friday. Even-par would not have been enough to reach the weekend, as players around the course posted solid scores. On Friday, Scheffler started on the back nine and bogeyed his second and third holes, then birdied the 15th before dropping another bogey at 17 to move to 3-over on that side. He managed a birdie at the turn to No. 1 to regain a bit of momentum, but seven consecutive pars were followed by a bogey at No. 9, sealing his fate and ending his hopes of playing the weekend.
This marks a rare miss for Scheffler, who last failed to make a cut at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Regarding the all-time cuts record on the PGA Tour, Matt Fitzpatrick now holds the new lead, entering the week with 28 consecutive made cuts. While Scheffler had been contending for the lead at the Scottish Open, Fitzpatrick’s streak remained the longer-standing active record, and, with his own performance through the week, Fitzpatrick’s run will stay alive for now. The dynamic continues to shape the conversation around who might challenge Woods’ historic money list and cut streaks in the years ahead.
