Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open on July 10, 2026, at The Renaissance Club, ending his PGA Tour record streak of 78 consecutive made cuts [1, 2, 3]. Scheffler's streak lasted nearly four years and 1,428 days, dating back to the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, marking the fifth-longest streak in PGA Tour history behind Tiger Woods, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, and Hale Irwin [2, 3, 4, 5].
After an opening round 2-under-par 68, Scheffler shot a 2-over-par 72 in the second round and finished even par for the tournament, two strokes behind the projected 2-under cut line [2, 3, 5]. Early bogeys in the second round and a missed par putt on the final hole sealed his fate, ending his chance to advance [2, 3, 6]. Scheffler said, "I didn't really feel like I played that bad. This golf course can be just tough at times. There's some humps and mounds out there" and admitted he "got off to a tough start" and "wasn't hitting it close enough to give myself enough opportunities" [2, 3, 5].
Scheffler, a four-time major winner and the world number one golfer at the time, had hoped to use the Scottish Open as preparation to defend his Open Championship title the following week at Royal Birkdale, a course he has never played before [2, 4, 5, 6]. He noted, "A little different than I was planning. Figure out how I get down to Birkdale and go from there" [6].
With Scheffler's streak ended, Matt Fitzpatrick assumed the PGA Tour's longest active made-cut streak at 28 or 29 events [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Scheffler also missed the cut for only the second time in four starts at The Renaissance Club [3, 7].
