Winning a major Championship is the goal of every serious professional golfer but, with only four opportunities a year, it is an ambitious target. Many famous, but also less famous, names have a major on their record, some of them certainly brilliant, some perhaps simply lucky, and every winner of a major Championship can be found by clicking here.
Far fewer, however, are the players who have more than one major title to their credit. This page lists all of them, the true elite of world golf.

Jack Nicklaus has eighteen victories to his credit, followed by Tiger Woods on 13 and counting. Discover the full Roll of Honour of major Champions since the first tournament in 1860.
