Koepka’s suspension, Pereira’s retirement, McIlroy’s club list, Müller’s swing tips, and Robin Williams’ golf classic.

As 2026 approaches, golf fans are wondering: when will Scottie Scheffler complete his career Grand Slam? With wins at the Masters, PGA Championship, and Open Championship, only the U.S. Open remains. That opportunity comes next June at Shinnecock Hills. Given his dominance and skill, bookmakers already favor the world No. 1 to win all four majors in 2026.

Taylor Gooch will replace him as Smash GC captain. Meanwhile, Mito Pereira has announced his retirement from professional golf to focus on family life in Chile.
