Can Scottie Scheffler Win The Grand Slam? A Look At The Betting Odds

Scottie Scheffler took home the green jacket Sunday, winning his second Masters Tournament in three years. Scheffler became the first pre-tournament betting favorite to win the Masters since Tiger Woods in 2005, according to Sports Odds History.

The 27-year-old Scheffler won THE PLAYERS Championship earlier this year, joining Woods as the only two players to ever win the Masters and Players in the same year. Scheffler won the Masters by four strokes, and he beat every player not named Ludvig Åberg by at least seven shots.

Scheffler has three victories this season, and if that wasn’t impressive enough, he’s yet to shoot over par in a single round in 2024. He’s been even or under par in all 35 of his rounds.

“I feel like I’m playing really good golf right now,” Scheffler told the media Sunday. “I feel like I’m [as] in control of my emotions as I’ve ever been, which is a good place to be. I feel like I’m maturing as a person on the golf course, which is a good place to be.”

A good place to be feels like an understatement. With three wins in his last four starts, Scheffler finds himself as the man to beat in every tournament he tees it up. By winning the first of the year’s four majors, Scheffler also has some fans and media members dreaming about the possibility that he wins all four majors in the same season.

The only golfer to achieve the feat in a season is Bobby Jones, who was considered a grand slam winner in 1930 by winning the Open Championship, the U.S. Open, the U.S. Amateur and the British Amateur. Since the Masters’ founding in 1934, no player has won all four majors in a season.

In 2000, Woods won the final three majors of the year and the Masters in 2001 to hold all four major championships at the same time. He didn’t, however, win the 2000 Masters to win all four in the same year. He finished fifth at the 2000 Masters.

Winning the calendar grand slam is an unbelievable challenge, and SuperBook Sports opened a prop bet for Scheffler to accomplish the historic goal at 80-1.

Scheffler is the current betting favorite for each of the final three majors, including next month’s PGA Championship. Every major sports betting app lists Scheffler as the betting favorite in the year’s remaining three majors.

At ESPN BET, Scheffler is +450 to win the PGA Championship, +500 to win the U.S. Open, and +550 to win the Open Championship. He’s yet to win a major other than the Masters, but he’s finished in the top 10 five times in non-Masters majors, including four top-five finishes.

On the course, Scheffler looks invincible. Away from the course, parenting duties could soon throw a wrench into Scheffler’s elite form. He’s expecting his first child by the end of the month, which could cut into his practice time ahead of the PGA Championship in mid-May.

Scheffler doesn’t seem too worried about his personal life detracting from his golf game, though.

“My priorities will change here very soon,” Scheffler said. “My son or daughter will now be the main priority, along with my wife, so golf will now be probably fourth in line, but I still love competing. I don’t plan on taking my eye off the ball anytime soon, that’s for sure.”
