Jordan Spieth has three major victories to his name. He only has to win the PGA Championship to complete his four-tournament grand slam. In 2015, he won The Masters and the US Open, and in 2017, he won the Open Championship.
Spieth finished second at the PGA Championship in 2015 and hopes to win this year.
