Kevin Streelman turned professional in 2001 and has been playing on the PGA Tour since 2008. The American professional has been able to clinch only two titles so far and has enjoyed several close finishes. However, he has managed to make a lot of cuts in the events that he has participated in.

Kevin Streelman makes his 300th cut on the PGA Tour

After the Friday round concluded at the Sanderson Farms Championship, Kevin Streelman joined the exclusive club being the 204th member to have made over 300 cuts in the PGA Tour. The 45-year-old finished with a 67 and 70 to make it to the weekend of the Championship in Mississippi.

The PGA Tour Communications recently took to their official X account and shared, “Of the 9,711 players that have made at least one cut on Tour, only 203 have made 300 or more cuts (2.09% of players)”. It was the 457th start for the 45-year-old golfer. After achieving the accolade, he expressed his happiness about being healthy enough to do something like that.

“It’s kind of a career thing. It’s not just a hot week or a special year, but to do this now 17 straight years out here, and know that I’ve got at least some more starts is pretty special to me and my family… It’s just something I’m proud of that I’ve been able to accomplish,” he said at the post-round presser. He has been thinking about making 300 cuts on the Tour throughout the 2024 season.

He even shared how he lived out of his car for five years after he passed out of college. Streelman went on sharing how he was among the fortunate lot to be playing professional golf on the Tour led by Jay Monahan. He will forever be thankful for the opportunity. However, he is also afraid of missing out. “But a cold stretch with the putter or driver and all of a sudden it gets expensive,” he added.
