Quiz! Men Who Have Won The Most Majors
Can you name the 20 men who have won the most Majors in our quiz – and do so against the clock?


This golf quiz is one four modern Majors in golf. They, and the date they were first played are: The Open Championship (1860); US Open (1895), PGA Championship (1916) and The Masters (1934). Each of these tournaments are played annually, and are run by a different organisation; respectively these are the R&A, United States Golf Association, PGA of America and Augusta National Golf Club.
The Amateur Championship and the US Amateur used to be considered Majors, but no longer are. For this reason we have also excluded them. But if we had not, then the gentleman who appears clued as winning seven Majors between 1923 and 1930 would instead appear as having won 13 Majors during this timespan, as he also won five US Amateur titles and an Amateur Championship during the era when these were still considered as being among the top four tournaments of the year.
Can you name the 20 men who have won the most golf Majors? All of them have won at least five Majors. The first man to get to five Major golf titles won his first Major in 1896. The most recent entrant to this select band of golfers won his first Major in 2017.
All you need to do is to type in their surnames.
