Scottie Scheffler dreams of career Grand Slam glory at US Open

May 02, 2026

The world number one will get his first chance to complete the full set of majors at Shinnecock Hills in June and admits it would be a dream come true to join an exclusive club of players to have won all four of the sport's biggest prizes.

Scheffler told reporters: "I would love to be able to win the US Open. It's a tournament that I love.

"I love my country, I would love to be able to win my national open. And I've had some success at that tournament before and I think it suits my style of game. I'm excited to go to Shinnecock this year and hopefully get it done.

"Growing up, I think you always have dreams and aspirations. I dreamed of playing golf on the PGA Tour. I dreamed of having chances to win major championships and The Players Championship and tournaments out here."

The four-time major champion continued: "I get to live my dream out here playing tournaments and competing, and the actual competition is one of my favourite things in the whole world.

"Playing competitive golf on the PGA Tour is so much fun. I wish I could play my best every single week. But that's why I said I kind of have to build a cadence into my schedule and stuff like that. In order to be at my best, I have to, physically, I just can do it every single week."

Meanwhile, Scheffler has also backed the decision to name Jim Furyk as Team USA's captain for next year's Ryder Cup – even though the former US Open champion led the team to defeat at the 2018 event in Paris.

He said: "Jim is a really good leader. He's extremely organised in the way he does things. I think with Jim, you just have so much experience across so many team events, whether it's playing or being a captain.

"The guy's been on those teams for what seems like forever. He had such a long career out here and was so good for a long time. He's been a captain and assistant captain on Ryder Cups as well.

"I think he brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table. He has a way that he likes to do things and he's very experienced in that role. I think he's going to do a great job."
