The full name of the US Open is the US Open, sponsored by the American Golf Association (USGA). It is held in different courses in the United States every June, and the competition is divided into four days, with 18 holes ***72 holes every day.

On June 4th, 1895, the first US Open was held at the 9-hole golf course of Newport Golf and Country Club in Rhode Island. During the 10 years before the US Open, most of its participants were amateurs, and many professional players immigrated from Britain. After American players began to dominate the game, the US Open gradually evolved into a world-class golf game.

BRITISH OPEN The full name of the British Open is the champion of the British Open, which is sponsored by the Royal Ancient Golf Club. The British Open is the oldest and most prestigious tournament in the history of golf in the world. The first game was held at18601kloc-0/7 in Prestwick, and the score was 3 rounds. There were only eight participants. But now, in terms of scale, it has the largest number of participants in the four major competitions, 1827 number of participants 1993. Stroke play played 72 holes in the four-day competition. Havarden is the player who won the most games, six times.

PGA Tournament PGA Tournament was founded in 19 16, ranking second in the total prize money among the four major events, second only to the American Masters. Held in August every year, it is the last event of the four competitions. When the United States Professional Golf Association (USPGA) was in 1965438, the first thing they did was to set up a tournament and select the best players on the Tour. Rodman Wanamaker, a businessman from new york, donated a huge trophy. PGA Championship was held in the form of match day from the year it was founded, and by 1923, it had become the most important match day at that time. By the end of 1950s, when television was popularized in the United States, it failed to gain an advantage in television broadcasting because of the long competition. So in 1958, the organizer changed the competition form to four rounds of 72-hole stroke play, which has been used ever since.

Although this event is the last event of the year, it is weaker than other events, but many champions have become outstanding figures in golf.

The American Masters is the first golf tournament in the world. It has special entry rules, and the total prize money and champion prize money are the highest among the four major events. It is the only event with a fixed venue among the four major events, and it is held in Augusta, GA every April. Masters is the youngest and most touching of the four competitions. Since 1934 held the first Masters in Augusta in 765 and 438+0, it has been striving to maintain its distinguished image. This tradition of Masters has been inherited from the original intention of bobby jones to establish the Augusta National Golf Course: to enjoy golf quietly with three or five friends without being exposed by the outside world.

A tradition of the competition is to present the green jacket of the club to the winner on the 18 hole green after the competition. Winners can wear green jackets to go home and attend bigger occasions, but they can't be used for business activities.
