The four major championships define greatness in golf and separate legends from the merely excellent. The Masters Tournament at Augusta National opens the major season every April, followed by the PGA Championship in May, the US Open in June, and The Open Championship in July. Winning a single major changes a career; winning all four — the career Grand Slam — places a player in the conversation with Nicklaus, Woods, and Player. Each major has a distinct character: Augusta rewards precise iron play and nerves on lightning-fast greens; the US Open tests tee-to-green control under brutal rough and tight fairways; The Open's links courses punish aerial approaches and reward ground games; the PGA Championship demands consistency on the longest courses in professional golf. All The Golf provides in-depth major coverage from the week's draw through the final-round finish — field analysis, course breakdowns, historical context, and round-by-round reporting. When a major is on, you'll find the latest leaderboard updates, key momentum shifts, and sharp analysis on every page of this section.
