For the first time since the Women's World Golf Rankings launched in 2006, the reigning men's and women's world No. 1 both missed the cut on the same weekend, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Scottie Scheffler failed to make the weekend at the Genesis Scottish Open, while Nelly Korda exited the Amundi Evian Championship after two rounds.

"Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open and Nelly Korda missed the cut at the Amundi Evian Championship. This is the first time that both the men's and women's No. 1 players each missed the cut in the same weekend since the women's world golf rankings were introduced in 2006," ESPN Insights posted the news on X.

Scheffler's 2-over 72 left him at even par, two shots outside the cut line. The result ended his streak of 78 consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour, which had lasted 1,428 days since the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

It placed him fifth on the PGA Tour's all-time list, behind only Tiger Woods (142), Byron Nelson (113), Jack Nicklaus (105) and Hale Irwin (86).

Meanwhile, Korda closed with a 69 in France, but it wasn't enough to erase her opening 74. She finished at 1 over, one shot outside the cut line according to the X post.

Korda's streak wasn't quite as historic, but it was still remarkable: 34 consecutive cuts made on the LPGA Tour, dating back to the 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

What went wrong for the game's two best players?

Korda declined to speak with reporters after either round in France. She opened at one-under through eight holes, then unraveled over her last 10, playing them in four-over par to finish with a 3-over 74.

On Friday, she tried to fight back with birdies at the seventh, ninth and 12th, but a bogey at 17 left her needing a birdie at the par-5 18th just to survive. Her putt came up short, and the cut line got her by one.

Unlike Korda, Scheffler faced the media afterward and insisted he did not play as poorly as the result suggested, pointing instead to a lack of scoring opportunities rather than any major mistake.

"I think that's really kind of what it comes down to. Got off to a poor start and after that, I didn't really hit it close enough to give myself a bunch of looks. That's how you shoot over par," he said of his inability to get the ball close enough to make birdies count, as accessed by ASAPSports.

He never found momentum in the second round, carding four bogeys against two birdies and ranking 127th in strokes gained approach among 156 players. The struggles continued a trend at The Renaissance Club, where his best finishes have been T-3 in 2023 and T-8 in 2025, solid results but below his usual standards.

"This golf course can be just tough at times; there's some humps and mounds out there," he said. "I didn't really feel like I played that bad."

Scheffler's assessment reflected his belief that a lack of quality scoring chances, rather than poor ball-striking or a major collapse, ultimately led to the missed cut.
