Golf Majors Trivia

The first British Open was held at Prestwick in 1860, with a field of just eight players. There have now been over 150 editions of the championships.
Chinese player Guan Tianlang was the youngest to make the cut in a major championship, in 2013 when he played the masters at 14 years, 5 months of age. Previously, the youngest was Italian Matteo Manassero, who did it at the 2009 Open Championship at 16 years, 2 months.

No one has completed the strict Grand Slam of holding all four titles in one year. The closest has been Tiger Woods, who held all four of the modern major championships simultaneously - the 2000 U.S. and British Opens, the 2000 PGA Championship, and the 2001 Masters. This can be considered a Consecutive Grand Slam or as some have called it, after the only player to achieve it, a Tiger Slam.
The 2022 US PGA was the first major championship to go to a playoff since the 2017 Masters, a span of 19 consecutive majors, the longest in history.
