I think it's harder to complete the career slam the first time than it would be for one who was able to do it multiple times. That's why only 5 men have done it. 

Nicklaus and Woods have each done it 3 times over. Which I believe may have been a little easier for them than say Phil needing a U.S. Open, Rory needing a Masters.

Rory will add a green jacket to his majors to complete the career slam. He just needs the learn the patience and GamePlanning Tiger just had when he won this Masters. 

Others I believe will get a career slam:

Jordan Spieth (I'm surprised he hasn't done it yet, he just needs the PGA)

Brooks Koepka: (he'll have to learn to lower his ball flight to win the Open Championship)

Justin Thomas: (the guy has too much game)

    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
