Exciting PGA Tour Streaks to Watch Heading into 2026
As the PGA Tour approaches 2026, several intriguing streaks are captivating golf enthusiasts. While some may not reach the legendary benchmarks set by past players, others present thrilling narratives to follow in the coming years.
Xander Schauffele’s Consecutive Cuts Made
Currently, Xander Schauffele boasts an impressive streak of 72 consecutive cuts made. This places him well behind the legendary Tiger Woods, who holds the all-time record of 142 cuts made from 1998 to 2005. Woods not only made the cut consistently but also frequently finished far above the cut line, with only four occasions of making it right on the number.
To surpass Woods, Schauffele must maintain his current pace of participating in roughly 21 events per year. Assuming he plays that many and makes every cut over the next three and a half years, he could potentially hit 143 cuts made by the 2029 U.S. Open at Pinehurst. Here’s a look at the current top-five streaks for cuts made:
- Xander Schauffele: 72
- Scottie Scheffler: 64
- Corey Conners: 19
- Vince Whaley: 19
- Harris English: 17
- Harry Hall: 17
Kurt Kitayama’s Three-Putts Avoidance
Three-putting can be a golfer’s nightmare, but Kurt Kitayama is currently excelling in this area, boasting a remarkable streak of 181 holes without a three-putt. Kitayama’s steady performance in this respect showcases his skill and composure on the green. Here are the active leaders in three-putt avoidance:
- Kurt Kitayama: 181
- Rickie Fowler: 155
- Tom Kim: 150
- Jonathan Byrd: 143
- Luke List: 138

Scheffler’s Winning Earnings
Scottie Scheffler has also captured attention with his streak of four consecutive money titles. He has amassed 19 wins, including four majors in the past four years, highlighting a golden era in his career. Here’s how his earnings have stacked up over the last four years:

Adam Scott’s Consecutive Majors Played
Adam Scott is on the verge of extending his remarkable streak of consecutive major championship appearances. As of December 2025, he qualified for the 2026 Open Championship, marking his 26th consecutive appearance at the prestigious event. His current journey involves potential participation in additional majors, aiming for his 100th consecutive major by the 2026 British Open.
