The 2013 Masters champion has played in 91 consecutive majors but doesn't have a spot yet in next month's U.S. Open.
The 2013 Masters champion has gotten more attention for the sponsor invites he’s received into signature events this year than for his actual golf, which by his own admission has been disappointing.
As recently as four years ago, when he won the Genesis Invitational, the popular Aussie was sixth in the world. He had not been out of the top 60 since 2018. That year, Scott needed to make it through U.S. Open qualifying to get to the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.Scott can still make the U.S. Open field if he is among the top 60 again on June 10, the week of the tournament at Pinehurst No. 2.
His last PGA Tour victory came at the 2020 Genesis and the coronavirus pandemic interrupted his good form, which he had difficulty regaining when faced with travel restrictions later that year. Phil Mickelson, who has played in 123 major championships, had a best streak of 61. Tiger Woods played 46 straight before missing the 2008 Open after knee surgery and has missed 22 since winning the 2008 U.S. Open.
But there is still hope for Garcia, 44, who advanced through qualifying last year and played at Los Angeles Country Club. He is the first alternate out of the Texas site and will see his name be part of a reallocation list that the United States Golf Association keeps from all 13 of the qualifying sites. In simple terms, it’s basically a rating based on strength of field at each of the qualifiers and how many spots were originally allocated.
Garcia is going to want to get to Pinehurst, N.C., in two weeks and join his LIV Golf teammate, Eugenio Chacarra, who did make it through the Texas qualifier, the only one of nine LIV golfers to make it through. Negotiations, however, barely proceeded. The Tour entered into a private equity arrangement with the Strategic Sports Group, making the need for the PIF’s investment less imperative. The lawsuits were dropped but LIV still signed PGA Tour players and has shown no signs of slowing down.
