What are the Four Major Tournaments in Golf?
The four “Major” tournaments are considered the most prestigious of all events in men’s golf. They are the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open – also referred to as the Open Championship – and the PGA Championship. The four Majors were originally the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open and British Amateur. The “grand slam” – winning all four Majors in the same year – has been accomplished only once, by Bobby Jones under the original Major format in 1930.
