We all know it. Jordan Spieth is chasing the career grand slam yet again this week at the PGA Championship. This year marks his 10th attempt to complete the historic feat.

Given Rory McIlroy's recent success at the Masters—where he defended his title this year—interest in Spieth's quest has surged. The passage of time has brought a sense of peace to Spieth's pursuit.

Spieth's Perspective on the Career Grand Slam

"If I can win one more tournament in my life, it would obviously be this one for that reason. But the easiest way to do that is to not try to..." — Jordan Spieth

Spieth heads to Aronimink with the golf world watching. But the odds are not in his favor. FanDuel Sportsbook lists him at +5500 to win, trailing players like Min Woo Lee and Chris Gotterup. Even his friend Rickie Fowler is ranked ahead after a strong showing at the Truist.

Why This Longshot Makes History Possible

History shows that longshots can defy expectations. Few seriously believed Rory McIlroy would complete the career grand slam at Augusta last year. Yet, he did. Could Spieth be next?

We could be on the precipice of golf history. Fingers crossed.
