Unless Davis Love III wins the Shell Houston Open this week, his streak of 70 consecutive appearances in the majors -- the longest active streak among PGA TOUR members -- will end when the 2008 Masters Tournament begins April 10. Here is how the top 15 rank on that list. (Jack Nicklaus holds the all-time record of 146 consecutive starts in majors.)
