Scottie Scheffler installed as favorite for all 2026 majors, including the Masters

AI-assisted summary
• Scottie Scheffler, after questioning his golfing obsession, won his fourth major championship at the 2025 British Open.
• Scheffler is favored to win all four golf majors in 2026, according to BetMGM.
• Scheffler's recent win fuels comparisons to Tiger Woods, with oddsmakers offering +25000 for him to win all four majors in 2026.
• A win at the 2026 U.S. Open would complete a career Grand Slam for Scheffler, joining an elite group of golfers.

In one of the most honest and introspective moments of the 2025 pro gold season, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler gave one of the most revealing answers of the year during his press conference ahead of the 153rd British Open in what turned into a therapy session of sorts for him. Scheffler insisted that he sometimes wondered what the point of his golf obsession was — and then he went out and dominated the field to capture his fourth major championship.

With the major season now in the rearview mirror, it's time to look ahead to 2026 and, according to Vegas oddsmakers, those scheduling tournaments might be the ones asking, "What's the point?"

According to BetMGM, Scheffler is the favorite to win each of golf's four majors next year, which was also the case in 2025, when he did capture half of the world's most prized trophies. Scheffler captured the PGA Championship in May, meaning he only needs a U.S. Open to complete a career Grand Slam. The only others in the modern era to pull off that trick are Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.“Any doubts about Scottie Scheffler's British Open pedigree were emphatically squashed by the American at Royal Portrush with an effortless four-shot victory," BetMGM senior trader Matt Wall told USA Today Sports.

"BetMGM immediately shortened his 2026 Masters price to +400 from +500 and that could still shorten further should he continue to dominate on the PGA Tour. The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don't look out of place right now. All the early action is on Scottie to win all four majors at +25000, and he is the favorite in each one right now.”
