Scottie Scheffler completing the set, Ludvig Aberg and Cameron Young getting into the action and the possibility of a Rory McIlroy reversal are the most tantalizing storylines we are looking forward to at the 2026 Majors.
With the monkey finally off his back, we wouldn’t be surprised if the affable Northern Irishman added more major titles to his collection. And wouldn’t it be poetic if it had an impact on Scheffler’s Grand Slam quest?
It seems like a matter of time before Young, six times top 10 in Majors, Viktor Hovland, top five in at least one Major in each of the last four years, and Tommy Fleetwood, seven times top five in Majors – and finally free of the almost-man label after breaking his PGA Tour duck at the 164th time – get over the hump, and we’d also put young upstart Aberg in that bracket.
