The first player to win all four of the current majors in a single year was Don Budge, who completed the feat in 1938. To date, 17 players have completed a Grand Slam, though only 5 in the most prestigious singles titles.

In the history of men’s tennis, only two players have won the calendar Grand Slam, Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 and 1969). Budge remains the sole player to have won six Majors in a row (1937–1938).

With 15 major championship wins in his career, the golfer is still three victories behind the all-time leader. Woods claimed his first major at age 21 by winning the 1997 Masters.

Jack Nicklaus

While Jack Nicklaus has the most major titles, Tiger Woods has the most overall PGA Tour tournament wins in his career with 82, tied with Sam Snead. Nicklaus is in third at 73. The overall win total in tournaments reveals one interesting thing—Woods in his prime was better than prime Nicklaus.

Tiger Woods’ Lowest Round Ever Has Woods ever shot 59? The answer is yes, but it didn’t happen in an official tournament round. And Woods carded a 59 that day, 13-under par on the Isleworth course. He scored 32 on the front nine and 27 on the back nine.

The term “ostrich” is used to describe the completion of a hole using five less strokes than the par. In other words, the golfer must place the ball in the hole on the very first shot attempt.

The United States Golf Association defines a par 6 as any hole longer than 670 yards for men and 570 for women, although we all know that par is a very arbitrary number. Some championship courses are happy to keep holes longer than 700 yards as par 5s from the tips. Making par is hard, let alone a birdie or albatross.

The putt Nicklaus sunk to claim this unique line in the history books measured in at a whopping 110 feet long.
