Jordan Spieth admitted his chase for the last leg of the Grand Slam has become the “elephant in the room”.
“It’s an elephant in the room for me,” Spieth said. “It’s a goal of mine.”
Americans have won the past 10 PGA Championships and taken 10 of the past 12 majors, only McIlroy’s two Masters titles breaking that run.
Top-ranked defending champion Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy have combined to win four of the past five majors.
Scheffler has finished in the top 10 in each of his past six majors – the longest run since Fijian Vijay Singh’s seven in a row ended in 2006.
Jon Rahm, on pace for a third consecutive LIV Golf season crown, hopes to become the first Spaniard to win the PGA Championship and give his homeland titles in all four majors -a Spanish Grand Slam.
“It would be wonderful to close that fourth leg of the Grand Slam,” Rahm said.
“Even though every major is extremely special, to tie it all together with the greats of the past of Spain would be quite unique.”
