How To Major In Golf?
These tournaments are where the biggest winners at golf go to battle it out over four main majors in the year, a win will keep you in professional golf for another five years which is great for the winner, the prize money helps too of course. As you may know, Tiger Woods has won 14 majors and is only second in record to 18 from Jack Nicklaus. here are the big golf events of the year! Get those golf batteries charged up and get ready to go!
Masters Tournament
this one is of course an invitational and is played at the Augusta club in Georgia USA. this course has been home to this tournament since 1934 and has been up there for the top golf course for a while, something I really do disagree on! each hole on this course is actually named after a tree or shrub which adds a little touch to things, the first hole is named Tea Olive to give an example. fans and players can get familiar with this quite quickly because it is the only major that does not change location year on year. After the end of this you will need to charge those leisure batteries!
US Open Championship
this one is not always in the same place although it does stick to the USA, it is hosted by USGA. It is held in June. The great thing about it is that it is held a different course each year which means fans can experience courses that they would perhaps not be allowed to get into otherwise. No marine batteries in site for this course!
Open Championship
This one is the one that is held in the UK and can be held at a number of course across the countries. this year it was played at St Andrews, the oldest course in the world. It is always played in July.
PGA Championship
The final major in the year is played in August and is once again played at several locations within the USA.
