2026 men’s golf majors: Schedule, locations, venues and dates

Scheffler seals The Open, fourth major victory
Watch the winning moment of Scottie Scheffler's dominant win in The 153rd Open Championship, his fourth major championship and third leg of the career grand slam.

The 2025 men’s major season was dramatic and historic.

Rory McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam when he nearly blew, then seized, then nearly blew, then seized, then nearly blew, then won the Masters Tournament in a playoff over Justin Rose.

Scottie Scheffler got on the doorstep of matching McIlroy in winning the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and The Open at Royal Portrush to grab the second and third legs of the career Slam.

All that remains for the world No. 1 is the U.S. Open, which was captured in thrilling fashion this past season by J.J. Spaun with his epic putt on the 72nd hole.

Here’s a look at when and where the Big 4 (in bold) will be contested in 2026, as well as a few other high profile events in the men’s professional game (click the link for the full 2026 PGA Tour schedule.)
