The Six Golfers to Complete Career Grand Slam As Scottie Scheffler ... Rory McIlroy has officially passed the torch over to Scottie Scheffler. It took over a decade, but McIlroy finally completed the career grand slam by winning the 2025 Masters, his first major win since 2014. McIlroy, who won the ’26 Masters as well , now lives in golf immortality as one of the six men to complete the career grand slam, winning all four majors at least once—the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship. This week Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, enters the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club with his first chance to join McIlroy on that list. The 29-year-old won two majors last summer—the PGA Championship and British Open—to add to his trophy case that already featured two green jackets from Masters wins in 2022 and ’24. Scheffler began the 2026 season by winning the American Express and has six top-four finishes, including runner-up behind McIlroy at the Masters. He enters the week at Shinnecock after placing 12th two weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament. Here’s a look at how Scheffler has finished at the U.S. Open during his career, and the names he’s chasing this week…

The next comparison could come this week. Recommended Videos Not since Woods has anyone completed thecareer Grand Slamin his first attempt, at least not in the modern era that dates to 1960 when it became a thing in professional golf. Woods took only 35 days between his epic 15-shot victory in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and his eight-shot victory in the British Open at St. Andrews. Scheffler reached the cusp of the career slamwhen he overwhelmed yet another field at the British Open at Royal Portrush. Now …

Scottie Schefflerwill try to take his place in history when the No. 1 player goes after the final leg of the career Grand Slam. Should he win, he would be the seventh player to win all four majors and joinTiger Woodsas the only players since 1960 — the modern era of the slam — to get it done on his first try. That ordinarily would be the sole focus of the 126th U.S. Open, to be played June 18-21, except for the recent history at Shinnecock Hills. It has not been smooth sailing off the Great Peconic Bay on Long Island. “It's hard when you run one tournament a year — and you run it on a different golf course every year — to get it just right,” Scheffler said. “And you're trying to make it hard. I think in the U.S. Open, they push the boundaries. If they're going to continue to push the boundaries, eventually they'll screw up and then they'll dial it back.” The 2004 U.S. Open already was brutally tough when the USGA failed to account for the strength of the warm …

Scottie Scheffler scouts Shinnecock Hills ahead of U.S. Open DUBLIN, Ohio --Scottie Schefflerwill try to win the Memorial for the third straight time this week, but the world's No. 1 golfer made a quick stop at another course where he'll try to make history later this month. Scheffler made his first visit Monday to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, which will host the 126th U.S. Open from June 18 to June 21. Scheffler would become the seventh golfer to complete the career Grand Slam if he adds a U.S. Open title to his two Masters victories and the PGA Championship and Open Championship wins he picked up last year. "That was my first time on property," Scheffler said Wednesday during a news conference at Muirfield Village Golf Club. "It was kind of what I expected. I had heard some rumors about how difficult the greens were. I was a little surprised at the width of the fairways, but the green complexes there are extremely difficult, and I think that's where the greatest challenge comes from." Scheffler will again be among the favorites to win the U.S. Open. He finished in the top 10 in four of his past five starts in the tournament, including a tie for second…

Shinnecock Hills an old hand at US Open, but not all history is good So much history is involved when the U.S. Open returns to New York's Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, the only course to host this major championship in three different centuries. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking for more than three years running, will try to take his place in even loftier standing by completing the career Grand Slam.
