Can Lorena 3-Peat? Unfortunately No II
Hello. Can anyone win the Grand Slam in golf, male or female?
To do so, a player has to win 4 times in a season. Prior to players like Woods, Sorenstam, Singh, Ochoa, Mickelson and Webb, a player was lucky to win that many times in a year. In fact, over 90% haven't won that many times in their careers! Lorie Kane has won 4 tournaments, and she's considered a Canadian darling. John Daly is a legend for 5 wins.
Not only does a player have to win 4 tournaments, they are arguably the 4 toughest tournaments. Everyone is hungry to win them, because winning one will make your career. Here's a short list of some PGA one-time major winners: Fred Couples, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, Trevor Immelman, Padraig Harrington, Paul Azinger, Tom Lehman.
If winning one sets you for life, where's the incentive to win more? Woods, Sorenstam and Ochoa are already considered amongst the greatest of all time. Will anyone look differently at them if they don't win the Slam? I sure won't.
All the best to everyone at the majors!

Steve
