I like Scheffler. This is what’s cool about golf though. Had he choked and went to a playoff with Rory….I’d be thrilled had Rory won. Now If this was a RC…damn you Rory! Lol…..

Tiger Woods is the only golfer to win more than 2 majors in a single season. If we are talking about the 4 majors now.

I would say he does not. 

Ben Hogan disagrees.

Grand slam, highly unlikely. Would love to see it. But most certainly won't happen. I can see him picking up one more this year. For some reason feeling like the other, if it happens, will be the PGA.

Hell, the last time a career grand slam was accomplished was 2008.

Tiger for the third time? 
 

Scheffler may eventually win the career grand slam. In one year? You would be out of your mind to bet that. Scheffler’s on a heater, but most of these heater’s fizzle out. Unless your Tiger from the ‘99 PGA through the 2002 U.S. Open,

I’m still waiting for Rory or Jordan to do it. Still waiting…

And 2005 to 2009. His two heater runs were insane. About 50 regular Tour wins mixed with 13 majors.

And Ben couldn’t have won four in 1953 even if he tried. The qualifying rounds for the PGA were the day or week after the 1953 Open. And Transatlantic travel was still done mainly by ship still at that point.
 

Some Transatlantic Flights, but most of those had to stop (for fuel) in Gander, Newfoundland to make it.

That is true, but even if there were no scheduling issue, he hadn't played in the PGA since 1948 (which he won) and didn't play it again until 1960.  The PGA was match play until 1958, and his legs simply did not allow him to play such a physically demanding event.  He played in it 3 times, after it returned to stroke play, MC, T9, and T15.  So the scheduling conflict really had nothing to do with him not playing the 1953 PGA.

He is the only one who has a chance this year, so there's that. 😎

That’s how the thought popped in my head.  You need the first one to have any chance.  Odds are against him, but he’s the only one with any odds.

The potential for 216 holes (2 18-hole qualifying rounds, 2 18-hole matches on Friday and 4 36-hole matches Saturday through Tuesday) over 7 days is a lot of golf.

Hogan after his accident really didn’t play a whole lot but when he did he won.

Exactly.  Which is why the whole "he couldn't go after the Grand Slam because of scheduling" thing is a complete myth.  The schedule thing was pure coincidence.

Jordon Spieth : In 2015 Spieth won the Masters and US Open.  Spieth went to St Andrews and finished 4th in the British Open, he was one shot off the play off having bogeyed the 17th.  The 3 man play off was won by Zac Johnson (Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman were the other 2 in the play off).  Spieth then finished 2nd in PGA, behind Jason Day by 3 strokes.

That was in 2015.  It would be nice to think that Scottie Scheffler could pull off the Grand Slam in 2022.

We will know by Sunday evening (PGA), if it is still possible.....

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.
