Xander Schauffele streak of consecutive cuts made ends at 72 at Farmers

He last missed a cut at the 2022 Masters. Since then, Xander Schauffele had made the weekend 72 straight times, the longest active cuts made streak on the PGA Tour.

Friday at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, Schauffele flirted with the end of that streak. He was looking to rebound from a 1-over 73 he carded on the South Course on Thursday. On Friday, he started on No. 10 on the North with two birdies. After making the turn, he went birdie-bogey-birdie-birdie to get to 3 under and on the cutline.

But after two straight pars, Schauffele, who played college golf at nearby San Diego State, bogeyed the par-4 seventh to fall back to 2 under. Then, a par at the eighth meant he would need a birdie on his closing hole, the par-5 ninth on the North layout, to get back to 3 under and keep his made-cut streak alive.

After hitting the fairway on his final hole, Schauffele missed the green left badly, going long and left and leaving himself a challenging up-and-down for par.

He chipped out of the thick rough to about seven feet, setting up a birdie putt he would need to make. But after going 1,391 days without missing a cut, Schauffele missed his putt to the right and that was that. Schauffele will be home for the weekend.

Who has the longest consecutive made cuts streak on the PGA Tour?

Schauffele’s streak ends a little more than halfway to the record of Tiger Woods of 142. Woods made every weekend from 1998 to 2005.

The new active leader for consecutive cuts made? That would be world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has made 65 straight weekends.
