Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, is facing the prospect of his first missed cut in four years at the Genesis Scottish Open. After a disappointing first round, Scheffler struggled to recover, leaving him on the wrong side of the cut line as of July 10, 2026.
Scheffler, who has been dominant on the PGA Tour with multiple wins this season, including the Masters, has not missed a cut since the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. His recent form had been stellar, but the challenging conditions at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, proved difficult.
The Scottish Open, co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, features a strong field. Scheffler's struggles highlight the unpredictable nature of links golf, where wind and weather can level the playing field. As of the latest updates, Scheffler was projected to miss the cut by several strokes.
This potential missed cut is a rare blemish on an otherwise remarkable season for the 30-year-old American, who has won five times in 2026, including a major championship. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if he can turn things around in the final round.
