Ahead of the U.S. Open, golfer Scottie Scheffler says his motivation is not driven by completing the career Grand Slam. Multiple outlets report that Scheffler acknowledges the potential to finish the set on his next attempt but states it has not been a motivating factor for him. He also emphasizes that he would not view a missed U.S. Open title as a failure.
Sky Sports and another Sky-related report both describe Scheffler’s position as a clear rejection of external pressure tied to Grand Slam history. The New York Post similarly frames his mindset as focused elsewhere, noting that while the career Grand Slam is within reach, it is not the central reason for his approach to the tournament.
Overall, the reports converge on the same theme: Scheffler recognizes the milestone opportunity but keeps it separate from his expectations and performance goals for the week, indicating he is approaching the U.S. Open without pressure from completing golf’s career Grand Slam.
