Tiger Woods is done! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

The longest consecutive cut streak in PGA history is over, as Tiger misses the cut at the Byron Nelson. On the Friday the 13th to boot!

He only missed by a stroke, I'm sure he is recapping his day thinking about various shots that could have prevented a mistake or resulted in an opportunity. I think I heard that the top 5 ranked players were playing this event, so it's unfortunate for fans who hoped to see them all compete this weekend.

Impressive streak though, an excellent measure of consistency.

i read somewhere that of his 140 something continuous cut making streak, around 40 of them were in tournaments with no cut. How can this be considered a real streak if approximately 20% of the tournaments that he played in were tournaments that everybody made it to sunday? he is an amazing golfer, but it seems to me that this record of his shouldn't be accepted. any thoughts?

140 straight cuts made demolished the old record of 120 or so. 31 events that Tiger played in did not have a cut. He didn't miss a cut in something like 7 years. Think about that. The longest active cuts made streak is Ernie Els, who is an awesome golfer, with 20.

Tiger's record will most likely never be broken, excpet maybe by Tiger himself.

The previous record holder was Byron Nelson and in third was Jack. I'm not sure how many of the events they played in did not have a cut.

I agree, it's tough to figure out exactly how good the streak was when each year he was in the Tour Championship, Mercedes Championship and World Match Play - all events without cuts. Nevertheless, it's still an amazing accomplishment.

He's done and washed up now. Write him off, he's terrible.
LOL. The guy's a golf god and will go down as the best golfer in history. End of story.

He'll be on the Nationwide Tour next year, the Hooter's Tour the year after!

Hence my future tense phrasing: "...will go down...", not "...is the greatest...".
