'Right up My Alley': Scott Primed for Magical Milestone

Scott joins Jack Nicklaus as the only players with 100 straight major starts, while still chasing a second major after his 2013 Masters win.

  • On Thursday, Australian golfer Adam Scott will become the second competitor to play in 100 consecutive major championships when he tees off at the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
  • Scott's streak began at the 2001 British Open, placing him behind eighteen-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, who played 146 consecutive majors before retiring from competition.
  • The 45-year-old Australian has maintained this intensity for 25 years, amassing 20 top-10 finishes, though his 2013 Masters victory remains his sole major title.
  • Rory McIlroy called the streak 'absolutely incredible,' noting the elite level and injury avoidance required to play 100 majors in succession.
  • Scott feels physically and mentally prepared for Shinnecock Hills, aiming to secure a second major win to cap his historic 100-consecutive-major run.
