Tranlate this title Scottie Scheffler, a 2026 without a major title in spanish

The 2026 golf majors are now in the history books. The conclusion of the British Open last Sunday also wrapped up the year’s four major global tournaments, crowning the four top winners of the golf season.

Scheffler, results

Rory McIlroy triumphed at the Masters Tournament for the second consecutive year, Aaron Rai won the PGA Championship, Wyndham Clark claimed the US Open, and Ryan Fox rounded out the list of major winners after clinching the title on Sunday in a spectacular British Open finale. In a tight contest, he sealed the victory with a putt on the 18th hole.

Consequently, the roster of major champions for 2026 is a diverse one. The group comprises a legend of the sport like McIlroy; a player returning to the winner’s circle at a tournament that has become a favorite for him, like Clark; and two new names in golf’s pantheon, Rai and Fox.

Chronologically speaking, Rory McIlroy successfully defended his title at the Masters—a tournament he had long pursued with determination, only finally conquering it last year to complete the Grand Slam. Ironically, after chasing the title for more than half his life, it took him barely twelve months to don the ‘Green Jacket’ again. Following his second Masters victory, McIlroy finished seventh at the PGA Championship but was unable to contend for further majors.

That PGA Championship delivered one of the year’s biggest surprises. English player Aaron Rai defied the odds to become champion, bringing the trophy back to his country for the first time since 1919. A spectacular finish—featuring an eagle and four birdies without a single bogey between the 9th and 18th holes of the final round—shut the door on his pursuers, including Jon Rahm. Rai, who has never recorded another top-10 finish in a major, achieved the victory of a lifetime.

Next came the US Open, which produced another unexpected winner—not because of his name, but due to his recent form. Wyndham Clark, the 2023 champion, had struggled in the interim; he had missed the cut in five of the eleven majors played between that 2023 US Open and the 2026 edition, managing only a single top-10 finish. Yet, Clark rediscovered his best form at his favorite tournament and secured the second major title of his career. The 2026 British Open delivered yet another massive surprise. Ryan Fox arrived at Royal Birkdale having played twenty-eight majors without a single top-10 finish, only to produce the performance of his life last week: he was one of three players to match the record for the lowest round in a major (Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns shot 62s on Friday, followed by Fox’s own 62 on Saturday) and navigated the decisive moments on Sunday better than anyone else to clinch his first major title.

Only four players walk away with the big prize in a sport where winning is incredibly difficult. It is therefore only fair to highlight the remarkable consistency shown in this year’s majors by the undisputed king of world golf, Scottie Scheffler.

Accustomed to a level of absolute excellence, it still feels unusual to see the world number one having lifted only one trophy so far this year—at the PGA Tour’s American Express event in late January. He has contended for many titles but has fallen short of sealing the deal.

His performance in this year’s Grand Slam events proves this: he finished second at the Masters, fourteenth at the PGA Championship, and fourth at both the US Open and the British Open. Beyond his failure to close out a win, his consistency has been absolute for yet another season; over the last four years (sixteen majors), he has recorded thirteen top-10 finishes.

Looking at the three leading figures across the major tours—Scheffler on the PGA Tour, McIlroy on the European Tour, and Jon Rahm on LIV—both Scheffler and Rahm have come up empty-handed in 2026, though the Spaniard’s form has been far more inconsistent. While there is still plenty of golf left to play this year, the major men’s championships are now done and dusted until 2027.
