Pulling for Jordan. He has 9 straight top 25 finishes at the PGA 2 of which runner up.

---

His last five finishes are t71, t30, t34, t29, t43. He's been a nonfactor. I'd love to see that change, but I wouldn't bet on it.

---

Obviously I wouldn't bet the house but he has historically played good at the PGA championship. even during his recent drought. 9 straight top 25 finishes with 2 runner ups. Hopefully his recent surgery helps and he can at least be in the mix.

---

He played great at the PGA Championship 2015 - 2019, but the finishes I listed are his PGA Championship finishes for 2020 - 2024. He hasn't played well there recently, though I hope he turns it around.

This isn't to nitpick you. I was truly confused and I suspect others are too. You originally said he "has" 9 straight top 25s, which suggests present tense and an ongoing streak. I think that's what led to the confusion.

Sorry for the mix up. What happened was the chart I was looking at kept the columns the same for the last 5 championship results but swapped the PGA championship column with the Open column. If you read it straight across it looked like all 9 were the same major but it wasn't.

Scottie now halfway there…he's definitely the most likely to complete the grand slam.

Seems like he will most likely get a US open in the next couple of years if his form holds.

The list includes Sarazen, Hogan, Jack, Player, Tiger & Rory (2025).

- Rory needs The Masters
- Spieth needs the PGA
- Phil needs the US Open
- Rahm needs the PGA & Open
- DJ needs the PGA & Open
- Koepka needs The Masters & Open
- Morikawa needs The Masters & US Open
- Xander needs The Masters & US Open

Who will be next?

---

Rahm - needs to get back on the PGA Tour to shake off the rust of not regularly playing in big events, but he's still young enough to do it.

Koepka - See Rahm, Jon.

Interesting you left off Bryson's LIV struggles
Bryson DeChambeau =
2025 : 2 top 5s in 2 major opportunities this year.
2024 : 3 top 5s in 4 major appearances
5/6 majors = top 5 or wins. LIV has been horrible for him too right?

Jon Rahm =
2025 : 2 top 15 finishes out of 2 majors opportunities.
2024 : Top 5 Olympic finish, 1 top 10 in 3 majors opportunities. Also had a foot injury and subsequent infection.

I love Figjam, but the man is 55 years old. He's been competitive at the highest level way longer than he should have. Arnold didn't win a PGA event after 43. Nicklaus last PGA tour win was 47. They both played the senior tour like gangbusters at 50 and never looked back to the PGAT other than the Masters. Something Phil should have done. Except he won a major at 50 which probably screwed his competitive playing outlook. Tiger's last win was at 43.

DJ is like saying playing golf was a bad decision for John Daily. Reality is John Daily and DJ were the problems with themselves. All the talent in the world, not a lot of want or commitment or drive. Happy to be rich and living a good life. And honestly, other than the drugs and excessive partying, that's not a horrible life outlook if a person can keep to the straight and narrow (which they can't).

There's lots of reason high talent golfers or other sports personalities fade out. The name at the top of their paycheck usually is way down the list to age, health, injuries, personal strife, and other life choices.

I guess the real issue for the LIV players is gonna be eligibility.

DJ had to get a special invite to the PGA this year.
Brooks has eligibility to the Masters/US Open til 2028 and The Open til '27
Bryson is good through 2029 for all of them
Phil is technically ineligible for the US Open next year I believe
Rahm loses eligibility in 2027 for the PGA and The Open

Now granted it seems the Majors are willing to through them special invites to get them in so who knows

Agreed.

I think even the majors realize at this point that echoing the PGA Tour's stance on LIV isn't in their best interests. Hard to say otherwise based on all the proportional top 10 and top 20 finishes by LIV players in majors.

Going after LIV is just PGAT protecting their pocket book. Definitely doesn't help the majors raise money or get more eyes.

I think Rahm and DeChambeau would do themselves a favor by playing 4 pressure rounds in tournaments more regularly. Both have the game for majors and will be factors for the foreseeable future.

I think Scheffler and Rahm both have good chances, better than 50%, of winning the Grand Slam. I don't think Spieth will do it, his game just isn't good enough any more. I doubt he wins another major.

Scottie now a US Open away

Scottie has the game to win all of them of course but I do see the US Open being the toughest challenge for him.

That being said, Pebble coming up next on the rotation is perfect timing for him. He can handle that course.

Yep, clicked 2 more boxes quickly. He's finished top 7 or better in 4 of the past 5 US Opens, so it seems almost inevitable. But it seemed that way with Phil too (he had 3 top 10s in the US Open by the same age), never happened. But I'd still put my money on Scheffler to complete it in the next 2-3 years. He's not competing with a Tiger (he IS the Tiger), which in 2002 Tiger was the only one to finish better than Phil

The figjam handle always makes me laugh. The announcers think Scheffler will keep improving which doesn't bode well for everyone else, considering he just won the Open by four shots --- which could easily have been more without the double bogey out of the sand trap on #8. Rahm and DeChambeau are good as mentioned. Gotterup, Schauffle, and McIlroy also. Scheffler is young and healthy, and has a support group that's the best, including his aggie wife.

Totally agree with comments by dannyduberstein. and bunk morehead; also thanks for the info wangus12.

A lot of those guys in just don't see competing at that highest level anymore. Spieth can never put a whole tournament together. I think maybe he drives it better, irons maybe worse, has lost his dominance with the putter. Phil racing against Father Time but has gotten healthier. DJ seems relatively uninterested. Rahm and Morikawa seem to not get much better than top 15s. LIV not helping Rahm, Morikawa is juggling caddies. Schauffele it feels like has a chance. And obviously Scottie. He just needs to get his driver a little more accurate to add the US Open.

Before Rory, only 5 guys had achieved the grand slam, and before Tiger in 2000 it had been 30 years since the last.

All that to say, is it's still a very exclusive club, and while it's likely Scottie will join, we should probably temper our expectations for anyone else joining for awhile, if ever.

LOL....no

Scottie and it ain't even close.

Spieth won't get another major......not unless he drastically improves tee to green.

Better question.........Scheffler completes the grand slam before Fleetwood can win Major #1 ?
