The 2026 U.S. Open could rocket Scottie Scheffler into a historic club. 

Scheffler just needs a victory at the U.S. Open to complete the career grand slam, and the final round of this year’s U.S. Open happens to land on his 30th birthday. Have the stars aligned for one of the faces of golf to have his moment of glory at Shinnecock Hills?

While Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have each won multiple majors over the last two years, there have been a couple of surprises as well. J.J. Spaun stunningly won the U.S. Open a year ago, and the last player to win a major is Aaron Rai, who surged to the front of a crowded PGA Championship leaderboard in May.

The result isn’t promised, but drama is likely as the U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills for the first time since 2018.

Here are the tee times and featured groups for Rounds 1-2 of the 2026 U.S. Open.
