Key Points:
- Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open for the first time in nearly four years, ending his streak of 78 consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour, the longest since Tiger Woods' record.
- Scheffler shot a 2-over 72 on Friday, missing two critical putts in the final three holes, including a 6-foot par putt that sealed his fate.
- The cut was set at 2-under 138, and Scheffler finished at even-par 140, prompting him to shift focus to preparing for the British Open at Royal Birkdale, a course he has not previously played.
- Scheffler acknowledged difficulties adapting to The Renaissance Club and noted that his consistency over the past years included many events without a 36-hole cut, which affected the nature of his streak.
- With Scheffler's streak ended, the longest active cut streak on the PGA Tour now belongs to Matt Fitzpatrick, with 29 consecutive cuts made.
