- The highlights of the menΓÇÖs golf season
- are these four championships: the
- Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open,
- and the PGA Championship. A player who
- wins all four of these tournaments (which
- are known as the "major tournaments," or
- "majors") in a single year is said to win the
- Grand Slam. No professional golfer has
- ever won the Grand Slam as it exists today.
- In 1930, Bobby Jones, a strictly amateur
- golfer, won the U.S. Open, the U.S.
- Amateur, the British Open, and the British
- Amateur titles. He is considered to have
- won a Grand Slam. Even though he never
- played professionally, Bobby is in the
- Professional Golfers Association (PGA)
- Hall of Fame!
