Up to that time, there was no term to describe such a feat because no one had thought it possible. The Atlanta Journal's O. Keeler dubbed it the "Grand Slam," borrowing a bridge term. George Trevor of the New York Sun wrote that Jones had "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf.

Jones remains the only man to have achieved the grand slam, since before the creation of The Masters and the advent of the professional era, the amateur championships were considered major championships. The modern definition could not be applied until at least , when the Masters was founded, and still carried little weight in when Ben Hogan , after winning the Masters, the US Open and The British Open, could not compete in the PGA Championship; the nearly concurrent PGA Championship and The British Open and the state of transatlantic travel made completing the Grand Slam impossible.

Hogan is the only player to have won The Masters, the US and British opens in the same calendar year. Tiger Woods has come closest to meeting the modern definition of golf's Grand Slam by holding all four modern major championships simultaneously — the US Open Championship, The British Open Championship and the PGA Championship in and the Masters — although not in the same calendar year.

This has been referred to as a Consecutive Grand Slam or, after the only player to achieve it, a Tiger Slam. In fact, even before Woods accomplished this, there was much debate over the definition of "Grand Slam".

Fred Couples said "I don't know how I can put it more simply if he wins all four, it's a Slam". As noted above, however, because there is no official definition, there is no definitive answer.

Only five golfers have won all four of golf's modern Majors at any time during their career, an achievement which is often referred to as a Career Grand Slam : Gene Sarazen , Ben Hogan , Gary Player , Jack Nicklaus , and Tiger Woods.

Nicklaus has three Career Grand Slams, having won each major at least three times, while Woods has two, having won each major at least twice. A number of dominant players of their eras have failed to achieve the Career Grand Slam because of their inability to win a particular major.

Sam Snead failed to win a US Open; Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson failed to win a PGA Championship; Lee Trevino failed to win The Masters.

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. Women's golf also has a set of majors. No woman has completed a four-major Grand Slam, but Babe Zaharias won all three majors contested in and Sandra Haynie won both majors in Six women have completed the Career Grand Slam by winning four different majors.

There are variations in the set of four tournaments involved as the players played in different eras, and the women's tournaments defined as "majors" have varied considerably over time in a way that has not been paralleled in the men's game.

The six are Pat Bradley , Juli Inkster , Annika Sörenstam , Louise Suggs , Karrie Webb , and Mickey Wright. Webb is separately recognized by the LPGA as its only "Super Career Grand Slam" winner, as she is the only one of the group to have won five different tournaments recognized as majors. Although other women's tours, notably the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA of Japan Tour , recognize a different set of "majors", the U.

LPGA is so dominant in global women's golf that the phrase "women's majors", without further qualification, is almost universally considered as a reference to the U. LPGA majors. Senior i. No man has ever won all of the senior majors contested in a year, even in the period between and when only two senior majors existed.

Today, a senior Grand Slam would arguably be a greater accomplishment than even the mainstream men's or women's Grand Slam, since senior golf has five majors instead of the four on the other tours.

No man has won all five of the current senior majors in his career. Miller Barber won both of the senior majors, the Senior PGA Championship and U.

The Masters strikes again! Walter Hagen was a major championship-winning force during his prime. The Nicklaus and Woods before Nicklaus and Woods. Like Barnes and Armour, though, by the time the Masters began, Hagen then 41 was looking back at his best playing days.

He appeared at Augusta National six times. Ben Hogan, left, and Byron Nelson at the Masters. Snead finished second four times at the US Open—the one major he would never win.

Unfortunately, the most notable snafu cost Snead more than a runner-up nod: The infamous U. Open at Philadelphia Country Club. Snead played aggressively on the 18th hole on Sunday, thinking he needed a birdie to win it all—when par would have done the trick.

Alas, his go-for-broke mindset ended with a snowman on the scorecard, an 8 that would forever follow him around the golf world. The PGA Championship would be the one that got away from Arnie, leaving the Latrobe, Pennsylvania legend one major short of a career Grand Slam.

Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship. He skipped the tournament multiple times throughout his career—something he would regret—and never really created the opportunities for a green jacket fitting.

Raymond Floyd never conquered the links-style tests of the Open Championship, keeping him from earning the career Grand Slam.

Floyd fired an impressive 68 that Sunday, catapulting up the leaderboard from 13th. But it would not be enough to overcome the champ that year, Jack Nicklaus. Watson was an eight-time major champ but never raised the Wanamaker Trophy at the PGA Championship.

He had several top nods at the final major of the season, but only three were close to winning it all. The PGA Championship at Oakmont Country Club would be the toughest to swallow: Watson lost a five-shot lead, posting a final-round 78 on the challenging layout.

He would lose the tournament on a playoff to John Mahaffey.
