*Grand slam: Winning all the golf’s major championships in the same calendar year. Before The Masters was founded, the national amateur championships of the U.S and the UK were considered majors along with the two national opens and only Bobby Jones has ever completed a grand slam with these. No man has ever achieved a modern grand slam, Tiger Woods being the closest in winning all four consecutively, but over two calendar years.
**Great Triumvirate: A collective title given to three outstanding British professional golf players before the First World War. They where James Braid, Harry Vardon and J.H. Taylor.
