Hello again! Antlet here. Last time: pickleball. This time: golf’s 2026 men’s majors!Four championships. Four dream courses. One extremely excited ant.
|
Driver, wood, wedge, putter. Four arms. Full service!Carrying four clubs at once does NOT mean I can play well.
|
First: what’s a Grand Slam? In modern men’s golf, it means winning all four different majors in one calendar year.Win all four across your career instead? That’s a career Grand Slam. Carrying four clubs earns neither.
|
Major one: The Masters. April 9–12, 2026. Augusta National, Augusta, Georgia, USA.For our scenic postcard: the 12th, Golden Bell. I want to play here SO badly.
|
Flowers, water, one tiny target… Golden Bell looks like a dream.Rory McIlroy won the 2026 Masters. My dream? One ball across that creek. Preferably my first ball.
|
Major two: PGA Championship. May 14–17, 2026. Aronimink, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA.Our scenic stop: the par-5 16th. Yes, this Par 3 Story takes a par-5 detour!
|
Aaron Rai won the PGA Championship. At Aronimink, even my daydreams need a careful approach.I want a round here so badly. Four clubs ready. Decision-making still loading.
|
Major three: U.S. Open. June 18–21, 2026. Shinnecock Hills, Southampton, New York, USA.Meet the par-3 11th: Hill Head. Small green. Big personality. Enormous place on my wish list.
|
Wyndham Clark won here in 2026. His second U.S. Open title!The green is up there. My confidence is down here. I still desperately want a tee time.
|
Major four: The Open Championship. July 16–19, 2026. Royal Birkdale, Southport, England.Our postcard: the par-3 12th, nestled in the dunes. Please let this be my next golf dream.
|
Ryan Fox won the 2026 Open. First major. Unforgettable finish.That completes our four-course tour. Now my three favorite storylines— a personal podium, not official rankings!
|
My number one: Rory’s Masters repeat. He completed the career Grand Slam in 2025… then won Augusta again in 2026!The first back-to-back Masters winner since Tiger Woods in 2001–02. That is quite a return visit.
|
Rory lost the lead and had to rally. The repeat came with real suspense.Rory: back-to-back green jackets. Me: back-to-back practice swings. Same course in my imagination, anyway.
|
My number two: Ryan Fox at The Open. At 39, he captured his first major at Royal Birkdale.He birdied the 72nd hole to beat Cameron Young by one shot. A finish worth holding your breath for!
|
Fox is known for playing fast. Apparently my blinking needs practice.He finished the job. I’m still choosing which club to hold— despite already holding all four.
|
My number three: Clark’s U.S. Open. A second title at Shinnecock Hills— with Sam Burns charging behind him.Much of the crowd was against Clark. He still held on. The mental battle was part of the story.
|
That’s the part I want to borrow: stay composed when the pressure rises.Four arms can carry the equipment. They cannot carry my nerves. Still… I want to play here so badly.
|
Four majors. Four dream courses. Rory’s repeat, Fox’s breakthrough, Clark’s nerve. What a season!Why play one sport when you can play them all? But first… one club, one putt.
