With Jordan Spieth's victory at the 2017 British Open Championship, he has three legs of the career Grand Slam in golf (2015 Masters, 2015 US Open, 2017 British Open Championship), making him one of the youngest golfers in history to three majors and three legs of the Grand Slam.

Spieth now is able to complete the career Grand Slam with a win in the PGA Championship, which is played in 2026 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and has been the home of the BMW Championship on the PGA Tour.

Spieth is currenlty one of three active golfers who can complete the career Grand Slam. The others are Phil Mickelson and Scottie Scheffler.

Phil Mickelson needs to win the US Open to take the career Grand Slam after winning the 2004 Masters, 2005 PGA Championship and 2013 British Open Championship.
