Scottie Scheffler is halfway to a career Grand Slam, with two Masters titles and a PGA Championship to his name. As we head into the Open Championship, Scheffler is the betting favorite on the golf futures market for all four upcoming majors, followed closely by Rory McIlroy, who added the Masters to complete his own career Grand Slam earlier this year. Bryson DeChambeau is the only other golfer receiving better than 10-1 odds in any of the next four majors.
Rory McIlroy practically had Royal Portrush all to himself Monday morning, but not for long.
