grid has many attributes, you can see them using the help() function:
-------------
Help on function grid_configure in module tkinter:

grid_configure(self, cnf={}, **kw)
    Position a widget in the parent widget in a grid. Use as options:
    column=number - use cell identified with given column
                    (starting with 0)
    columnspan=number - this widget will span several columns
    in=master - use master to contain this widget
    in_=master - see 'in' option description
    ipadx=amount - add internal padding in x direction
    ipady=amount - add internal padding in y direction
    padx=amount - add padding in x direction
    pady=amount - add padding in y direction
    row=number - use cell identified with given row (starting with 0)
    rowspan=number - this widget will span several rows
    sticky=NSEW - if cell is larger on which sides will this
                  widget stick to the cell boundary
-----------------

Notice the columnspan option.
set it to the number of columns in your table.
