GolfSpy_BNG Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Sean Fairholm discusses the career grand slam. Only 5 men have achieved the feat and he talks about what some golfers still need and who he thinks may be in line to complete the slam. What say you? Who is gonna be next to complete the grand slam? https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/tour/who-will-complete-the-career-grand-slam-first/ TJ Hall and MGoBlue100 2 Quote What is in my Ghost MGS anyday Maverick or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: Callaway Smoke AI TD Max 8.5* with an Aretera Alpha One Blue 55/4 shaft @ 44.75” or GD VF 5s @45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" TSR2 7 wood shaft TBD Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: P790 Aged Copper 4-PW with Steelfiber I95 R Wedges: T22 copper 50* and 54* with Steelfiber 95 S Putter: 2024 Phantom 5.5 @ 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungkory Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Probably nobody. Scottie was looking like he might bust a tiger slam then out of nowhere Xander takes two of them, so maybe Xander? My money is on no one, it's so hard to win once in your career. To do it 4 times is obviously harder, then to have those 4 be majors? Sheesh!

I’m not counting Rory out just yet. If he can get on one of his heaters at the right time it’s possible. yungkory, TJ Hall and silver & black 3 Quote What is in my Ghost MGS anyday Maverick or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: Callaway Smoke AI TD Max 8.5* with an Aretera Alpha One Blue 55/4 shaft @ 44.75” or GD VF 5s @45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" TSR2 7 wood shaft TBD Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: P790 Aged Copper 4-PW with Steelfiber I95 R Wedges: T22 copper 50* and 54* with Steelfiber 95 S Putter: 2024 Phantom 5.5 @ 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_BEN Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Interesting topic. Of the 3 that are closest, none of them seem likely. If I had to throw a futures bet on it, I would guess Scheffler or Schauffele, but one look at some of the luminaries of the game that couldn’t get it done leaves me skeptical it’ll happen again any time soon. That only 5 golfers have ever done it is staggering, but the list of names goes a long way to explaining what it takes to accomplish this rare feat.

TJ Hall Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It’s really tough to guess, there are so many good players out there. I would love to see Speith wi the Grand Slam, but looks less likely as time goes on.

ShimmyCocoBop Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I think that Scheffler, Schauffele, Koepka, DeChambeau and Aberg look good for the near future as those who could win all four majors in a career. They are still young and relatively unscarred mentally. Once someone has trouble winning a certain major for more than a few years, the "kavorka" seems to set in. Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson are some of the more famous players who need or needed a single major to complete the slam.

jaskanski Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 For a better than average odds to achieve the Grand Slam, the players with 3 already under their belt probably have the greater chance than most. Rory, Jordan Speith and Phil fit the bill, but you couldn't rule out Rahm, Scheffler, Koepka (enter favourite player here) giving them a run to the line. On probability? Speith has a better chance of winning a PGA Championship than Rory has of winning the Masters, or Phil bagging the US Open. silver & black, Kenny B, TJ Hall and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few of the PGA courses that set up better for Jordan than Rory at Augusta. That being said, his recent play hasn't been great so maybe Rory can catch lightening some April and close it out.

LICC Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 If Rory (or any of them) does it, I hope he wins another 3 or 4. It is incredible that its only been done by 5 players who are all legends of the game. I would not like to see Spieth get an out of nowhere hot weekend at a soft PGA Championship and lessen the accomplishment. Of the 5 who accomplished it, the lowest major total is Gene Sarazen with 7, but he played the prime of his career before the inception of the Masters (he won the 2nd Masters held). I don't want to see a Grand Slam winner with only 4 or 5 majors wins. BIG STU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShimmyCocoBop Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Maybe, Tiger should plan a comeback when he's eligible for the Champions Tour and try to win the Senior Grand Slam and beat Bernhard Langer's total of 12. I think BL is the only player to have won them all.
