Meanwhile, McIlroy and Spieth, each needing only one more Major to complete their Grand Slam, face their own challenges. McIlroy’s decade-long winless streak and the immense pressure at The Masters add to his difficulties. Spieth, on the other hand, hasn’t finished higher than T29 in the last five PGA Championships, highlighting his recent struggles in Majors.

As the golfing world eagerly awaits the next Major season, Schauffele stands poised to join the elite ranks of those who have won all four Majors, making him the player to watch.
