The majors in golf refer to the four most prestigious professional men's golf tournaments. These are:
- The Masters Tournament : Held every April at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. It is the only major played at the same course annually and is famous for traditions like the green jacket and Champions Dinner
- PGA Championship : Played in May at various locations in the United States, organized by the Professional Golfers' Association of America. It is exclusively for professional golfers
- U.S. Open : Conducted in June at various courses across the United States, hosted by the United States Golf Association (USGA)
- The Open Championship (often called the British Open): Played in July on links courses in the United Kingdom, organized by The R&A. It is the oldest of the majors, first held in 1860
These four majors are considered the pinnacle events in men's professional golf, carrying the most prestige, history, and prize money. Winning a major significantly boosts a golfer's career, offering exemptions from qualifying and invitations to other majors for several years
