What are the 4 majors in golf?

Answer 1

The four majors (for men's Golf) are:

The Masters, which is run by Augusta National Golf Club, and played in April

The US Open, which is run by the USGA and is played in June

The Open Championship (often called the British Open in the US), which is run by the R&A and played in July, and

The PGA, which is run by the PGA and played in August.

Note that the PGA is the old PGA, the one that is now basically the association of club pros and teachers, not the PGA Tour, which is the touring professional players.

There's no authoritative committee that decides what's a major. These are the championships that have established a sufficient reputation to stand out from the rest. Things that go into major status are strength of field, prize money, qualification for subsequent events, and public recognition. Players don't stay home from majors unless they have to. Nobody misses the British Open to rest up for the Quad Cities, er, JOHN DEERe.

The PGA Tour would very much like to run its own major championship, and often hints that the Player's Championship (now in May) should be considered a major. If it were, there would be a major-a-month from April to August, which is probably too many.
