Invitation-only. Green jacket. Amen Corner. Augusta National is the most iconic venue in golf, and The Masters is the most watched tournament in the world.
The largest field of any major and the most open qualifying. The Wanamaker Trophy is one of the most coveted prizes in the sport.
The USGA sets up courses with brutal rough, narrow fairways, and lightning-fast greens. Par is a good score. The US Open is the toughest test in golf.
The oldest major, first played in 1860. Links golf on the British coast — wind, bump-and-run, and the Claret Jug as the prize.
Beyond the four majors, these are the tournaments worth following.
