	Men's major golf championships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Major Championships, often referred to simply as the "Majors", are the four most prestigious annual tournaments in men's professional golf.
		The oldest of the majors is The Open Championship, which is often referred to as the "British Open" outside the United Kingdom.
		Major championship winners receive the maximum possible allocation of 50 points from the Official World Golf Rankings, which are endorsed by all of the main men's tours, and major championship prize money is official on the three richest regular (ie under-50) golf tours, the PGA TOUR, European Tour and Japan Golf Tour.

	Grand Slam (golf) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grand Slam is taken either as holding the championship of all four of the major championships simultaneously, or by the more strict winning the four major championships of a calendar year.
		The term "Grand Slam" was first applied to Bobby Jones' achievement of winning the four major golfing events of 1930: the British Open, the US Open, the United States Amateur Championship and The Amateur Championship.
		These shortcomings have been attributed to various concepts: a particular major is just ill-suited to a player's game; the player lacked the ability to fully adapt to that major; and the player experienced just sheer bad luck.

	Major Rising - IRONMAN.com
		Kate Major’s favorite quote is “It’s not what life does to you that’s important, but what you do with what life does to you.” Major has taken what life has given her—the prowess to be a sports champion—and bettered her rankings to put a face on triathlon’s next generation of standout female athletes.
		Major said that this race forces an earlier start to her season than what she’s accustomed to, and even admitted to struggling in her training after enjoying a holiday break (yes, even one of the world’s best takes some time off for the holidays).
		Major said she and her sister shared the spotlight their entire sporting careers, always known as “Kate and Em.” So when Emma retired from pro Squash and moved to Philadelphia to coach, Kate didn’t tell new friends that she had a sister, relishing being recognized on her own merits.

		Woods, who won three of the four major championships in 2000 and at least one major every year since 1999, departed the PGA Championship on Sunday winless in all four majors this year.
		That pretty much summarizes his presence at all the majors this year, with a tie for 15th at The Masters, a tie for 20th at the U.S. Open and a tie for fourth at the British Open.
		Those errors are magnified at major championships, where the courses are so severe that the penalty for errant shots is usually a stroke.

		In a statement released earlier in the day, Nicklaus said: "After 42 years of playing major championship golf, I felt my ability to compete at the highest level on a continuous basis is marginal at best.

	TaylorMade Tour Continues Special Edition Hats and Bags at Major Championships in 2005

		This year's special edition logo used on the hats and bags introduced at the Masters, with its oval shape, was inspired by the badge issued to tournament patrons at the 1965 event.
		The words "season opener" refer to the tournament's position on the schedule as the first Major Championship of the year; the latitude and longitude coordinates on the sides refer to Augusta, Georgia's position on the map; and the number 40705 refers to the tournament's scheduled starting date, April 7, 2005.

		Woods joined the legendary Ben Hogan as the only players to win three major titles in one year when he won the fifth major of his career by capturing the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club by one shot over Bob May in a three-hole playoff.
		Woods, who won the 1999 PGA Championship, was fifth at the Masters, then he won the U.S. Open in June and the British Open in July before successfully defending his PGA Championship title to match Hogan.
		The pairing of Nicklaus and Woods for the first two rounds of the PGA Championship was widely regarded as a symbol of the final act in the changing of the guard of golf's hierarchy.

		In his prime, Nicklaus went 12 majors without winning one, from the 1967 U.S. Open until the 1970 British Open.

		The championship in Palm Springs has a proud history as “The Dinah,” in honor of Dinah Shore, who fostered the event.

		Tiger also was the youngest Masters champion ever, at the age of 21 years, three months and 14 days, and was the first major championship winner of African or Asian heritage.
		His records are 270 (18 under par) in the Masters, 272 (12 under par) in the U.S. Open, 269 (19 under par) in the British Open, and he shares the record of 270 (18 under par) with Bob May in the 2000 PGA Championship, which Tiger won by one stroke in a three-hole playoff.
		He played his first major championships in 1995, making the 36-hole cuts in the Masters and the British Open, but had to withdraw from the U.S. Open because of an injured wrist.

		Having hosted 26 Open Championships, the Old Course is by far the most prolific venue on the Open Championship rota.
		The last six Open winners at St. Andrews were either multiple major winners before they teed it up or left with their second major.
		That list alone is responsible for 40 major championships and in the case of both Nicklaus and Woods, two of only five players that have won the modern career Grand Slam.

		Or a second green jacket at Augusta that would give Woods four majors in a row -- and an argument that four straight qualifies as a Grand Slam no matter whether they are all in the same year.
		By the time Woods and May were on the back nine they had opened up a gap, and it was basically match play, just as the PGA Championship had been before it was switched to stroke play in 1958.

		Nevertheless, Woods already has won two majors this year and seven of the last 12, so the PGA Championship might be more meaningful to guys like Mickelson, Garcia, Jim Furyk and Padraig Harrington, all still searching for their first one.

	Kenya comes up short: Thoughts on the country's recent "failures" in major championships - www.mensracing.com
		Before world championships, there are trials, but the top finishers aren't guaranteed a spot on the team (and not because of the American scenario of not having run an "A" qualifying time).
		Coach Renato Canova says that the desire to know if one will be allowed to compete in a championship meet is a major motive for the many former Kenyans he now coaches for Qatar, including the world record holder in the 3,000m steeplechase, Saif Saaeed Shaheen (born Stephen Cherono).
		There is still room for a camp to be organized for a week or so, with a view to familiarizing the athletes with their teammates, discussing tactics and kitting them for the championship.

		I covered Tiger for the Oakland Tribune at the 1995 Masters, and he clearly said that the Masters was his first major championship.
