Jordan Spieth has won the 1st 2 golf majors of the season. He is 25:1 to win the Grand Slam. I don't see this happening, since it's pretty much impossible to win the Grand Slam. That being said, he is great for the game of golf, a classy and grounded person, and it's cool to see him win.

It will be interesting to see if he can win as many majors as Tiger Woods...

The odds are definitely not in his favor to win all four majors. A lot has to go right for him. Aside from playing very well on 4 different types of courses, and he is continuing to show that he has a great all-around game, a lot has to go right. Others have to falter in key situations (see Dustin Johnson's 3 putt on 18), and he has to have a little bit of luck as well.

That said, to be one of 7 men to have won the first two majors in a season, and the last being Tiger Woods to do it, he certainly is proving that the stage is not too big for him, and given his youth, certainly has a maturity and the mindset to handle big situations very well.

I think this may actually be a more interesting question than can he win as many majors as Tiger Woods.....Do you think that both he and Rory McIlroy will win at least 10 majors each? Both guys seemingly are playing at a different level than the rest of the field, and that's saying something because the next tier of players are very strong. The depth on the PGA tour now is as deep as its ever been, and all the doomsday sayers predicting the demise of the PGA tour are slightly exaggerated. There are plenty of young, talented players, both in the United States, and throughout the rest of the world.
