Scottie Scheffler targets U.S. Open for career grand slam chance

Scottie Scheffler, ranked No. 1 in golf, heads into the U.S. Open in Southampton seeking to become the seventh golfer to achieve a career grand slam, having already won three major championships. Scheffler's chance follows Rory McIlroy's grand slam victory in 2025. Completing the feat could elevate his career earnings, as he currently ranks third all-time behind Tiger Woods and McIlroy, both of whom have surpassed $100 million in earnings. This week’s U.S. Open purse is yet to be revealed, but Scheffler's ongoing pursuit comes after McIlroy recently had high viewership for his Masters victories, highlighting the growth potential for golf.
