Scottie Scheffler can join golf’s most exclusive club with win at 2026 U.S. Open

Scottie Scheffler has the opportunity to join golf's most exclusive club by winning the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, N.Y., which would complete the career Grand Slam. The article provides historical context, noting that Gary Player was among the first to openly pursue the career Grand Slam at the 1963 U.S. Open at Brookline, where he needed only that title to complete the cycle but finished eighth. Only a handful of players in history have completed the career Grand Slam, which consists of the Masters, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and PGA Championship.
