22 golfers made the cut in the first three majors of 2026. Who has the best average finish?

[ASFN Admin]

Three down, one to go. We have seen three men's golf majors come and go already here in 2026, and there are 22 golfers who made the cut in all three. Incidentally, that's the same number who made the cut in 2025.

The three majors have produced three different winners, and now there's one last chance for Rory McIlroy, Aaron Rai or Wyndham Clark to do what Scottie Scheffler did a year ago: win two majors in one season.

Golfers to make all 3 major cuts listed by average finish​

For these calculations, a tie for fourth, for example, was considered the same as a solo fourth-place finish. Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele came closest to posting top 10s in all three with Rose going 3-10-11 and Schauffele going 9-7-11. Scottie Scheffler is the only one with two top 5s in three of the majors.
