Scottie Scheffler completes the set, Ludvig Aberg and Cameron Young move into the action and the potential for a Rory McIlroy heel turn are the most tantalizing storylines we’re looking forward to for 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 mission?
It feels like a matter of time before Young, six-time top-10 in the Majors, Viktor Hovland, top-five in at least one major in each of the past four years, and Tommy Fleetwood, seven-time top-five in the Majors—and finally free of the near-man tag after breaking his PGA Tour duck—reach 16th and 4th upstart Aberg in that bracket as well.
