Matt Kuchar and The Streak You've Never Heard Of

Matt Kuchar fired off an incredible round Saturday to get himself into the final pairing for the final round of the 3M Open. But it wasn't just the tournament that Kuchar was playing for. It was his chance to extend history.

A little-known fact came back into play on Saturday. Kuchar who has not won since 2019 is in serious jeopardy this season of losing his achievement as the only player never to miss the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Yes, You Read That Right...

The FedEx Cup playoffs were introduced in 2007 by the PGA Tour. The year-long schedule concludes with the Top 70 players making the final stretch. Three tournaments in which the participants are narrowed down week by week until the final tournament featuring only 30 players to end the season. Matt Kuchar is the only player since the inception of the playoffs to play his way into them every single season.

Up until Saturday, Kuchar was in serious jeopardy of not finishing high in the FedEx Cup standings to have a shot at making them. Kuchar will most likely need a win to seal himself in and continue his impressive streak.

Good for Kuch, honestly. This is a little-known fact to most and honestly one of the most impressive. In a way a case could be made that Kuchar is one of if not the most consistent players in PGA Tour history, especially with his last win coming before Covid.

Either way what a week for Kuchar. All eyes are now focused on him tomorrow to see if he can play his way in yet again. It would easily be one of the most well-received victories on the PGA Tour this season and seen as a true accomplishment to the already storied career of the seasoned pro.
