Over the last four years, Scottie Scheffler<\/a> has become the dominant force of the men\u2019s game, having won his maiden PGA Tour title at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, and heading to the TPC Scottsdale<\/a> event in 2026 with an incredible 20 wins on the circuit.<\/p>\n

That dominance is also reflected in the length of time he has been at the top of the world rankings, with Scheffler\u2019s fourth stint at the summit standing at 142 weeks and the American having spent a total of 177 weeks looking down on everyone else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inevitably, a player demonstrating such superiority very rarely has a failure. Indeed, you have to go back almost 11 months to find the last time Scheffler didn\u2019t finish in the top 10 at a tournament, when he \u201cslumped\u201d to a T20 at The Players Championship while defending his title.<\/p>\n

Scheffler no doubt arrived in Arizona confident of not only continuing that run of top-10s but winning the title for the third time, particularly after getting his season off to a dominant start with victory at The American Express<\/a> two weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

However, after the opening round, not only did he risk missing out on the top 10, but he also had work to do to make the cut.<\/p>\n

Scheffler made some uncharacteristic errors in the first round of the tournament, including five bogeys and a double to finish on a two-over 73.<\/p>\n

Fans also aren\u2019t accustomed to seeing Scheffler lose his cool on the course, but that happened at the 18th, when he duffed a chip onto the green, appearing close to snapping a wedge across his legs as the ball rolled back down towards his feet.<\/p>\n

The upshot of Scheffler\u2019s frustrating round meant that, as well as avoiding the media<\/a>, he was 11 behind leader Hideki Matsuyama overnight, and likely needing to go at least two under on Friday to continue a long run of made cuts. But how long?<\/p>\n

Well, the last time Scheffler failed to make it beyond the halfway stage of a tournament was in August 2022 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, when rounds of 71 and 68 meant he finished under par but missed the cut by one.<\/p>\n

Since then, Scheffler has made it beyond 36 holes on 65 consecutive occasions, with Corey Conners<\/a> his nearest rival on the list with 20.<\/p>\n

While that is a yawning gap, remarkably, until last week\u2019s Farmers Insurance Open, where Scheffler didn\u2019t play, he wasn\u2019t even the man with the most ongoing consecutive cuts made.<\/p>\n

Going into the Torrey Pines<\/a> event, Xander Schauffele<\/a> held that honor, leading Scheffler by seven on 72, the fifth-longest running in PGA Tour history, before he failed to make it beyond 36 holes.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on Scheffler on Friday to see if he can continue his own remarkable run by making it to the weekend.<\/p>\n

However, even if he does, he still has some way to go to beat the PGA Tour record of consecutive cuts made<\/a>, which is held by Tiger<\/a> Woods and was set at an astonishing 142, coming to an end at the 2005 Byron Nelson Classic.<\/p>\n
