History

Historical Context

Tiger Woods set the PGA Tour record with 142 consecutive cuts from February 1998 until May 13 2005, surpassing Byron Nelson’s 113-cut mark. That benchmark resurfaced when Scottie Scheffler’s 78-event, 1,428-day streak fell at the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open, leaving Matt Fitzpatrick to lead with a 28-event run. The rarity of such streaks underscores their historic significance.
