Golfers with most major championship wins

This article lists the 191 men who have won a major golf championship by the number of majors they have accumulated, and is complete through the 2006 U.S. Open. The four majors are the most prestigious events of the golf season, and the number of wins that a player accumulates in them has a very important influence on his stature in the sport. The four majors taken into account in the main list are the current four professional majors. See the final section of this article for an alternative historical ranking.
