How Many Majors Does Scottie Scheffler Have?

Scheffler's Four Major Wins — In Detail
🏆 2022 Masters — First Major at Age 25
Scheffler arrived at Augusta National having won four times in six starts to reach World No. 1 for the first time. He admitted to crying from nerves before his final round, but held off a charging Rory McIlroy to win by 3 shots and claim the green jacket. At 25 years old, Scheffler announced himself as the game's next great champion.
🏆 2024 Masters — Wire-to-Wire Dominance
Scheffler's second Masters title was a masterclass in sustained excellence. He led from start to finish — a wire-to-wire victory at Augusta that confirmed his status as the most complete player in the world. His second green jacket at age 27 made him the first player to win multiple Masters before age 30 since Tiger Woods.
🏆 2025 PGA Championship — Third Major
Scheffler claimed the Wanamaker Trophy at the 2025 PGA Championship, adding to his Masters collection and making him a three-time major champion. The win further cemented his status as the dominant player of his generation.
🏆 2025 The Open Championship — Fourth Major
Scheffler completed a remarkable 2025 season double by winning The Open Championship, becoming a four-time major champion. With wins at three of golf's four majors, only a US Open title stands between him and the Career Grand Slam.
The Career Grand Slam Chase
With four major titles in hand — Masters (×2), PGA Championship, and The Open Championship — Scheffler needs only a US Open victory to complete the Career Grand Slam. He would join an elite group of players who have won all four major championships: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy (completed in 2025).
Where Does Scheffler Rank Historically?
Four majors by age 29 places Scheffler on one of the fastest major-winning paces in golf history. For comparison:
- Tiger Woods had 8 majors by age 29
- Jack Nicklaus had 7 majors by age 29
- Scottie Scheffler — 4 majors by age 29
- Rory McIlroy had 4 majors by age 29
Scheffler's pace is comparable to McIlroy's and well ahead of most historical greats. With a decade or more of prime golf remaining, the potential for a historically significant major total is very real.
