Xander Schauffele was criticized by Dan Rapaport

Xander Schauffele secured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2017 Greenbrier Classic. In 2022, he added three more titles to his resume: the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside teammate Patrick Cantlay, the Travelers Championship, and the Genesis Scottish Open.

Although he missed the cut at the Masters that same year, Schauffele has been a model of consistency ever since. He is currently on a streak of 66 consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour. That mark ranks sixth all-time, trailing Tiger Woods, who set the record with 142 straight cuts from 1998 to 2005.

Dan Rapaport said:

“And bring back the cut everywhere. I’m also sick of seeing Xander Schauffele’s cut streak put up there next to Tiger Woods’. It’s not the same. There are always no-cut events or, you know, the cuts at like Memorial, where there are 20 to 15 guys who missed the cut. The no-cut, the limited field stuff? I’m just over it.”

Rapaport emphasized the significance of making the cut in golf tournaments, calling it "one of the coolest things" in the sport.
