Tiger Woods has won 14 of these major’s currently only second to 18 from the great 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 has always been of an invitational purpose and played at the Augusta club in Georgia USA. the course has hosted this tournament since 1934 and has been voted the world’s number one golf course many times over, I am not sure I agree though! 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. This is the only course in the 4 majors where fans can get really familiar with as it never changes. After the end of this you will need to charge those leisure batteries!

 

US Open Championship

This event can be held in various locations across the USA and is hosted by the USGA. This one is actually 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 is the one that is held in the UK each year and it is not in the same location each year. This year it was held in the amazing St Andrews course. July is the month for this one.

 

PGA Championship

The final major in the year is played in August and is once again played at several locations within the USA.
