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.

I think he can pull off another major this year, but definitely don’t think a grand slam is going to happen.  Just a matter of how long he can stay hot.

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.

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

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.

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.....

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
