The four major championships are the most prestigious events in men's professional golf: The Masters (Augusta National, Georgia, April — invitation only, world's most beautiful course, famous for Amen Corner), The US Open (various courses, June — hardest conditions, USGA setup emphasizes precision over power), The Open Championship (British Open, various links courses, July — oldest major, founded 1860, wind is the primary challenge), and PGA Championship (various courses, May — has produced the most first-time major winners). Career Grand Slam: winning all four majors. Achieved by only five players: Hogan, Player, Nicklaus, Player, Woods, Mickelson. These events represent the ultimate test of complete golf ability — driving, iron play, short game, putting, and mental performance under maximum pressure.
