The 2025 Masters might lead another golfer to achieve a career Grand Slam, as Rory McIlroy's strong weekend in Augusta has him on the cusp of greatness.
The modern Grand Slam in men's golf involves winning the four major tournaments in professional golf: the Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open and the PGA Championship.
Golfer Bobby Jones owns the sole Original Grand Slam, winning the U.S. Amateur, the U.S. Open, The Open and The Amateur. However, five golfers have earned modern career Grand Slams.
Will McIlroy join these all-time legends in the game? The Masters is the only of the major four he hasn't won. We'll have to see. Until then, let's run through the five golfers who have won all four of the major tournaments.
