Scottie Scheffler eyes career Grand Slam at U.S. Open, as Shinnecock aims to avoid recent history

The 2026 U.S. Open is set to be held at Shinnecock Hills, the only golf club to have hosted the major championship across three centuries. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be among the key contenders, with the opportunity to complete a career Grand Slam at the event. Shinnecock Hills previously hosted the U.S. Open in 2018, an edition remembered for controversial course conditions, and organizers are aiming to avoid a repeat of that difficult history.
