Scottie Scheffler talks impact of possible Grand Slam at US Open

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler enters the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club as one of the leading favorites, with a chance to become the seventh man in history to complete the career Grand Slam. Scheffler, who has two Masters titles, one PGA Championship, and one Open Championship, needs only the U.S. Open to complete the set. Speaking on Tuesday, June 17, 2026, Scheffler downplayed the Grand Slam as a personal motivation but acknowledged that winning it would bring greater attention to the sport of golf.
