If only 1 major

Recommended Posts

If they can only play one major this year what one would you pick and why?  I would say the masters, it's always been my favorite and look forward to it more than any other.  I also love that it's the only major that's always played at the same course every year.

The masters is a great choice but the one downside is having to leave your phone and stuff in your car.

Without reading the thread, I'm guessing most will pick the Masters.... with good reason. I will pick the US Open, because even though it comes under scrutiny every year for course layout and on the edge conditions... that is why I love it. I love hearing the players ****** and moan about the rough, the dried out fairways and slicker than a snot puck on ice, greens. It's tough, and I love watching the best players in the world struggle. 😬

The Open (British)

See, my heart says Masters, but my head says the Open.  We see the Masters at Augusta every year, but with the others changing venues, it's really hard to not go with one of them.

There is a strong field of opinion (controversial I know) that says The Masters shouldn't be a major. The things that make it so special, the course, the setup etc, are what make it very predictable and repeatable. A Major should have defining charatcteristics (like The Open = Links) but always being at the same course and setup in theory make Augusta a lot easier than the other 3 majors, because you can exactly prep for it. Everyone knows where the pins are going to be, exactly what tee shot you need to hit etc.

I would say The Open if only 1 major as it is the original, but then again I am British so a bit biased!

I have honestly never anyone every claim that The Masters shouldn't be a major.  So not exactly how "strong" that opinion is

Strong may have been a bit of an exageration 😉 but it does bear thinking about, its quite weird that it is.

I love The Masters, but it’s iconic in the spring. Can’t count The Open bc I want one on US soil. The PGA Champ isn’t my favorite and won’t have a lot of lead up to it this year. So my vote is the US Open, where “anybody” can qualify to play.

The Masters, no brainer for me. Helps that I've actually been in person once, you'll never forget the course, grounds and ambience once you've seen it - you can't fully appreciate it on TV, not even close. The Masters is the only tournament I always watch all four days, might/not with other majors, and almost never with other events. The back nine on Sunday is the epitome of tournament golf - even the true greats feel the pressure.

Lots of posts for the Masters, and I have to agree, but I think The Open if it were at St. Andrews or Carnoustie would be a very close 2nd. I've always liked that tourney especially at one of those locations.

It has to be The Open.

With out The Open the Masters, PGA, USOpen, would not exist.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the Masters and understand why everyone’s heart goes there.  (I’ve got tix I’m sitting on and hope it still happens this fall - and that She Who Must Be Obeyed will still let me go...) But if there ever was just one major, you go back to the beginning.
