Scottie Scheffler will have some work to do Sunday if he wants to capture another major milestone.
The Highland Park product is still chasing his career Grand Slam. He already owns wins in three of golf’s major championships, claiming victories in the Masters (2022, 2024), the PGA Championship (2025) and the Open Championship (2025). The only major tournament left to conquer is the U.S. Open.
As Scheffler chases another historic marker, here’s a look at the golfers who have secured a career Grand Slam and when they accomplished the feat:
