Scottie Scheffler is now entering his age-28 season on the PGA Tour. He currently holds three major titles: The Masters in 2022 and 2024, and, more recently, the PGA Championship in 2025. This achievement places Scheffler in elite company. He is only the third player in PGA Tour history to win two Masters and a PGA Championship before the age of 30, joining none other than Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
So, what does this mean for the history of golf—and for Scheffler’s potential pursuit of the career Grand Slam?
With his win at the 2025 Masters, Rory McIlroy became just the sixth golfer in history to complete the career Grand Slam. Scheffler, with three legs already completed and momentum clearly in his favor, may very well be on his way to becoming the seventh. He is only now entering his professional golfing prime. His recent performances suggest that his major victories are not just isolated moments of brilliance, but the early chapters of a sustained period of dominance.
Scheffler is tracking ahead of schedule when compared to most players who have completed the career Grand Slam. The biggest question mark is longevity and can he avoid injury? If he can remain healthy and maintain even a fraction of the form he’s shown over the past few seasons, the path to the Grand Slam will stay wide open. For now, the world watches as Scheffler continues to rise. Will he be the next to join golf’s most exclusive club? Only time will tell.
