US OPEN '26: Adam Scott in Elite Company Playing His 100th Consecutive Major
The Australian tees off at Shinnecock Hills with a streak matched only by Jack Nicklaus, who reached 146 straight majors.
- Australian golfer Adam Scott reaches his 100th consecutive major championship Thursday when he tees off at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, a milestone only Jack Nicklaus has previously achieved.
- Scott's streak began at the 2001 British Open, requiring him to avoid the injuries and personal circumstances that derailed other legendary players' runs at major championships.
- Tiger Woods managed 46 consecutive majors before knee surgery ended his streak, while Rory McIlroy reached 70 before a soccer injury forced withdrawal from the 2015 British Open; Jack Nicklaus holds the untouchable record at 146.
- Scott enters the tournament seeking a trophy rather than celebration of his longevity streak, having won 29 times worldwide including the 2013 Masters championship.
- "To be prepared and be able to play and stay healthy so you can play is quite an achievement," Jack Nicklaus said, underscoring the rare consistency required to reach 100 consecutive majors in a sport where injury typically disrupts careers.

Adam Scott doesn’t feel any differently now than eight years ago when he was 30 feet and two putts away from securing a spot in the U.S. Open at a grueling 36-hole qualifier. He got it done and extended his streak to 17 years in a row playing all the majors. It was gratifying, yes, but not what he was chasing. “I am playing all these majors to win them, not just to show up,” Scott said on that humid Ohio evening in 2018. Nothing has changed exce…
