On the heels of his dominant British Open win on Sunday, Scheffler is the early favorite to win all four majors in 2026.

Scottie Scheffler of the United States speak at a press conference after winning the British Open golf championship at the Royal Portrush Golf Club, Northern Ireland, Sunday, July 20, 2025.

He took the lead Friday during the second round and has pushed his score to 14-under, putting him four strokes ahead of Haotong Li, who is second on the leaderboard at 10-under.

Even with four majors, three legs of the Grand Slam and 20 victories around the world, it’s a little early to be making Scottie Scheffler comparisons.
