| Favorite golf major
Mine has always been the us open. Masters is cool, but too pretentious. |

| I'll say the Masters. US Open is 2nd followed by The Open which is a close 3rd. PGA is last.
With the Masters you always know what you're getting. The USGA has ruined the enjoyment of watching the US Open on occasion with their rediculously stupid setups. The Open is fun to watch because it's something different. Add some elements & it's really fun. Watching somebody hit 3wood 180 yards is fun to watch. The PGA just seems like the black sheep major. | |

| I think govols is discrediting the PGA Championship a little. It's nowhere near my favorite, but I like having one major with perfect conditions and perfect setups for scoring to see what the pros can do. My favorite though is the Open. The pageantry, history and setup of links golf is always exciting. Makes golfers get really creative, especially when the rain and wind become factors. That's followed by the Masters and then I'm torn between the PGA and US Open. As govols mentioned, the USGA has ruined the US Open by trying to create the meanest rough, slickest greens and undulations that are impossible to do anything with. It's probably about two years away from becoming Caddyshack 2's course. | |

| US Open, Masters, Open Championship, PGA. I love the Masters but probably because it comes first. US Open is my clear #1. Masters & Open are very close and in any given year could be my favorite. PGA is a distant 4th and in the same class as Players Championship and possibly the Memorial other big regular tournaments.

| Masters and US Open. Masters for the tradition, US Open because an amateur can conceivably win it. | |

| It's only a major in goofy historic contexts, but the Amateur ranks with the Masters as best for pure golf. | |
