For the second major in succession, membership of golf\u2019s most elite club is up for grabs as the US PGA Championship returns to Oak Hill Country Club for the first time since 2013.<\/p>\n

Yet if any reminders were needed of how difficult it was to complete a career grand slam, the events of the last few weeks have provided plenty.<\/p>\n

First was Rory McIlroy\u2019s performance at the Masters as he sought to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in having won all four major titles, the Northern Irishman missing the cut in dispiriting fashion after a second round of 77.<\/p>\n

Then there was Jon Rahm\u2019s victory at Augusta National, the Spaniard indicating he could be the man to beat going forward after claiming a second major title by four shots, despite starting the week by four-putting the first hole.<\/p>\n

And finally came the news that Jordan Spieth, who needs to win the US PGA to complete the grand slam, is suffering from an untimely wrist injury which forced him to withdraw from the AT&T Byron Nelson.<\/p>\n
