Scottie Scheffler’s slam quest begins now, but is that the motivation?

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, 29, begins his bid to complete the career Grand Slam at the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York, starting the week of June 16, 2026. Having already won three legs of the modern career Grand Slam, Scheffler enters as the tournament favorite. He joins Jordan Spieth as one of only two active golfers who have completed exactly three legs of the career Grand Slam, with Spieth still seeking the PGA Championship since 2017.
