The world's top female player added her name to this list last month and is trying for six straight this week.
Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda are each on impressive heaters. Both have won a major championship in recent weeks. Korda has won five consecutive starts, matching the LPGA record held by Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam.
Scheffler has lost to exactly one player over his last five starts. Along the way he’s won the Masters, the Players and two Signature Events. The one event he didn’t win—the Texas Children's Houston Open—he missed a playoff by a stroke when a 5-footer on the final green did not drop. Both players are dominating their respective tours with incredible play and consistency, and Korda’s drive for a sixth straight win starts Thursday at the Cognizant Founders Cup.Golf’s record streak went from March 1945 through August of the same year, with 50 consecutive rounds of par or better. Nelson won a total of 18 events that year. The streak is often qualified with how it came during World War II when several star players served. Still, the par-or-better streak knows no names.
