Overview
- Scott will make his 100th straight major start on Thursday at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, becoming the second man after Jack Nicklaus to reach triple digits.
- He began the streak at the 2001 Open Championship and has stayed healthy and competitive enough to qualify for every major for a quarter century.
- Scott credits steady focus and a strict fitness routine for his durability and says the milestone has taken on new meaning as it approached.
- The streak narrowly survived qualification risks when Scott was added to the 2024 U.S. Open field as an alternate after Grayson Murray’s death and later restored automatic entry by moving inside the world top-60 after the Cadillac event.
- Despite the run and many top-10s, Scott’s major record includes a single victory, the 2013 Masters, which frames the achievement as one of longevity more than multiple big titles and recalls Jack Nicklaus’s longer 146-major streak as the all-time benchmark.
