If there is a group of golfers now known for their amazing achievements, this one is it. After Rory McIlroy’s heart-warming heroism, we now have six people finishing the professional grand slam.
Gene Sarazen was the first person to capture Masters, PGA, U.S. Open and Open Championship in 1935, and it was not known to anyone at the time, followed by Ben Hogan (1953), Gary Porter (1953), Gary Porter (1965), Jack Nicklaus (1966) and Tiger Woods (2000).
This question has been a constant question since 2014, and McIlroy has been one of the top answers. To see who the next person might be, we’ll consider those who have at least two different professions in the bank – although he only has six games in total, it could be a good answer for Ludvig Aberg. If so, it is likely to be implemented.
(In alphabetical order)
Dustin Johnson (2) – PGA required and open
He is still only 40 years old and is built from granite, but it’s hard to hint that Johnson’s main hope is much left. He won 24 titles on the PGA Tour and started cleaning up life with his 4 ACES teams on LIV, but he is now down in DG’s No. 182 – you don’t even want to know where to be on Owgr… (801st). Anyone who knows or works with him will always have questions about his appetite and will tell you that he is absolutely puzzling in practice, but now he is not even part of the main conversation.
Chance: 0/10
Brooks Koepka (5) – Need a Master and Open
Koepka currently ranks 80th in the world (status golf), and he is still completely different from most animals in the game. He won nine wins on the PGA Tour, five of which were professional. The numbers on Liv Golf are wise, everything seems to be fine (Bryson has three games), but despite what happened in 2023, the gap seems to be widening. He then abandoned the Masters in half but then won the PGA at Oak Hill. Everything seems to be doing well in Augusta’s large number of runs, where he has two second places, which makes him open. Once again, he has the skills to compete, but the shift to LIV and injury has certainly had a big impact – his best score of T17 in his last eight majors, and he missed the layoffs this year.
Chance: 4/10
Phil Mickelson (6) – Need to be disclosed in the United States
He is 54 years old and is the sixth runner-up in the U.S. Open, which is ridiculous. The first time back to the last century, his first appearance was in 1990, in a mess, he played some incredible golf, only to be beaten by Tigers and the company. He is already the oldest major champion at the age of 50 and will stand out now when doing anything.
Chance: 1/10
Collin Morikawa (2) – Need Masters and US Open
Morikawa won the 2020 PGA and the 2021 Open when he debuted in two championship games, but it is still not enough to talk about. His worst result was No. 18 in Augusta’s last five games, and his last four efforts at the U.S. Open were 4-5-14-14. He is still in his twenties, and is rightly composed of his iron show. Morikawa ranked seventh in SG this season: although Scheffler is different from everyone else’s stratosphere.
Chance: 4/10
Jon Ram (2) – PGA required and open
The Spanish return to the main form was very popular at Quail Hollow because he “rewinds the years” (30). A lot of nonsense about Ram – He is still one of the five best players on the planet, he will be another player, he will lick his lips. His last time was No. 11, he won two Irish link courses – in 2017 he finished with a stunning show at Portstewart.
Chance: 7/10
Jordan Spies (3) – PGA required
The numbers are wise, and now it’s most likely Spieth, because he only needs one, and he’s in his fifties. He is still only 31 years old, his age is always a little surprised, and his condition is back to the top. He is currently ranked 29th in the data golf rankings – Aberg is 26th – which gives us something. His last big win came in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, so we are now heading into our eighth season without a season like McIlroy, which is unimaginable after what happened in 2015-17. His form in PGA – a second and third time always brings some hope, although it does feel that he has been replaced by several people and is far from the worlds of Scottie Scheffler and Mcilroy. But if someone can turn it on for a week, it’s Spieth.
Chance: 4/10
Xander Schauffele (2) – Need Masters and US Open
Schauffele’s main record is neat, with his 32 starting to make it to the top 10. Entering the 2024 season, he is considered the best player to win the professional. Then, over two months, he polished from half of the Grand Slam. His master record is great, also at the U.S. Open, read 5-6-3-5-7-14-10-7. So, in eight games, he can only finish outside the top 10 – Oakmont.
Chance: 7/10
Scottie Scheffler (3) – Need to be open and open in the United States
This is where the head starts – he can actually throw it away this year. The American is 28 years old and has a lot of conversations about him reaching even numbers. His Wikipedia page is a sea of yellow, i.e. the main top 10, these three WSs. There is no course on Earth, he will not be threatened, and he is far away there – you can already imagine him hanging a fuchsia jug on Prothush. One shocking statistic for the rest of the field is that he is now ranked 15th in SG: Putting (going with all the No. 1 elsewhere).
Chance: 9/10
NB: Two-time major champions Martin Kaymer and Zach Johnson are also eligible, but the prospect of adding two other majors or actually winning seems far away.
