Four different players on six separate occasions have won the Memorial Tournament and Players Championship or a major championship in the same season. Scottie Scheffler (2024 Players Championship, 2024 Masters) and Xander Schauffele (2024 PGA Championship) can join them with a win this week. The other players to accomplish the feat are Raymond Floyd (1982), Curtis Strange (1988), Paul Azinger (1993) and Tiger Woods (1999, 2000, 2001).
