Overview
- Scheffler missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open after a two-over 72, ending a 78-event, 1,428-day run of consecutive made cuts.
- The two-over 72 left Scheffler two shots short of the weekend, marking his first missed cut since August 2022 and breaking the PGA Tour’s longest active streak.
- Matt Fitzpatrick inherits the tour’s longest active made-cut streak at 28 following Scheffler’s failure to advance at the Renaissance Club.
- Scheffler remains world No. 1 and has had a strong 2026 season with top-25 finishes in 14 events, one win and multiple podiums despite this setback.
- The miss changes short-term Open Championship preparation and travel plans for Scheffler, and it adds to media attention on his recent public comments about turning 30 and his receding hairline.
