Although the 2026 season has not concluded yet, The Majors calendar has ended and it is time to recapitulate what has happened. Without further ado, we must begin by remembering who the winners were: Rory McIlroy (Masters), Aaron Rai (PGA Championship), Wyndham Clark (US Open) and Ryan Fox (British Open).
Among the players in the world’s top 10, only McIlroy has been able to win a bigbecause before his triumphs, Rai was ranked 44th in the ranking, Clark was 34th and Fox was 56th. It also happens that four different nationalities are represented in this year’s list of winners: Northern Ireland, England, the United States and New Zealand. McIlroy and Clark had previously been major winners, while Rai and Fox debuted.
This year they are 14 players who made the cut in the big four. These were the most regular and their accumulated: Sam Burns -20; Scottie Scheffler -20; Xander Schauffele -13; Rory McIlroy -11; Cameron Young -11; Ludvig Aberg -10; Collin Morikawa -6; Chris Gotterup (pair), Justin Thomas +3; Ben Griffin +3; Hideki Matsuyama +5; Corey Conners +10; Kurt Kitayama +12; Michael Brennan +18.
Scheffler, Burns and Young They have been close to winning two majors this year. The regularity of the world number 1 is evident for another year (2nd, 14th, 4th, 4th)although Burns (7th, 26th, 2nd, 3rd) and Young (3rd, 26th, 43rd, 2nd) They have also stood out. Scheffler’s Achilles heel was putting and he was still almost always on top. His impressive streak of 11 ‘top 5’ in the last 20 Majors. Schauffele (9th, 7th, 11th, 18th) did not give himself many options, but he showed his usual consistency.
In Spanish key, Jon Rahm He was the only player present in all the Majors: Masters (38th, +1), PGA Championship (2nd, -6), US Open (cut, +6) British: (46th, even). His performance was not as expected and he himself commented last week that what he wanted was to give himself opportunities on Sundays in the Majors, but really that was only possible in Aronimink, where it is true that he came very close to winning until Rai sprinted in his last 10 holes.
In it MastersJon was practically ruled out from the first day, which he threw 78 hits and the objective was to make the cut and finish as high as possible. In it US Open in Shinnecock Hills his start was encouraging with a round of 68, but his 78 on Friday – with a decisive double bogey on the 16th – even left him out of the weekend. At Royal Birkdale he came out six strokes off the leader on Sundaywith a chance of victory as long as he made a comeback like the one Cameron Young starred in. The ‘León de Barrika’ has two Majors in his record and Since the 2023 Masters he has enjoyed good chances of winning the 2023 British Open, the 2025 PGA and the 2026 PGA, but now it has been experiencing three years of drought.
