As of the 2024 season, 233 golfers have won one of men's professional golf 's four major championships – the modern accepted definition of the majors has only existed since the 1960s but wins in these tournaments have been retrospectively recognized by all the major sanctioning organizations.
Players are listed here in order of their first win.
For much of the modern era the four major championships have been played chronologically in the order listed, but this has not always been the case, and starting in 2019 the PGA Championship was rescheduled as the second major of the year. In 2020, a year dramatically affected by COVID-19, The Open Championship was not held, and the Masters was held in November, after the other two majors.
