Most Majors Won: Wins in Men's Professional Golf Events

Jack Nicklaus, considered by many to be past his prime in 1986, came from behind to win that year's Masters with a stirring back-nine charge. That was the Golden Bear's final major victory and the 18th of his remarkable career.

Tiger Woods has won the second most majors in men's professional golf history with 15. He snapped an 11-year drought to win the 2019 Masters Tournament — his fifth green jacket — to pull closer to the all-time majors record. 

The most recent new additions to the list of major champions are 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed and 2018 Open Championship winner Francesco Molinari.

Here is the complete list of every professional golfer who has won a men's major.

Bridgestone’s Reformulated e6 Golf Ball Will Delight Slower Swing Speed Players Who Seek Maximum Distance and Super Soft Feel

Bridgestone’s Reformulated e6 Golf Ball Will Delight Slower Swing Speed Players Who Seek Maximum Distance and Super Soft Feel

COVINGTON, Ga. – (May 6, 2019) - Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, announced today that it has reformulated its e6 golf ball to afford fantastic value for moderate-swing-speed players who seek maximum driving distance and buttery soft feel.

The new Bridgestone Golf e6 features a 2-piece, low-compression construction to ensure that players with slower swing speeds can fully activate the core on tee shots, delivering increased distance throughout the bag. The new ball also provides players with a super soft feel thanks to its low compression core.

“The e-Family of Bridgestone golf balls keeps getting better and better,” said Elliot Mellow, Golf Ball Marketing Manager – Bridgestone Golf. “With the recent introduction of e12 SOFT and SPEED, we’ve ensured that players who love the feel and playability of a 3-piece, surlyn construction golf ball have two distinct swing speed options in our e-product lineup. In addition, now we have reformulated the e6 to provide a more economical option for consumers who are seeking distance and super soft feel.”

Complementing the new e6 golf ball is the slightly lower compression e6 LADY. Delivering the same reliable distance with an even softer feel, the e6 LADY is designed to help female players get the ball air born easier and provide added distance on shots where it is needed most.

New Driver Science Adds Distance

DESC

There’s a reason you don’t see the pros playing two- to three-year-old drivers. If they want to climb leaderboards, they know they need the best equipment.

In fact, a driver that’s several generations old can perform significantly poorer when it comes to shot distance and dispersion, especially if it’s poorly fitted or worn.

To a degree, this reality applies to amateur golfers too. The evolution of driver science and proper club fitting—even over just the last few years—is having big impacts on distance and accuracy for all levels of golfers.

The difference between generations

Let’s be clear: we’re not saying the driver you bought last season is obsolete. But testing, like from our recent M3 versus M5 comparison, shows new technology produces real, measurable gains.

To give a design example, the generation-old M3 driver has a center of gravity (CG) near the back-center of the club. This placement is a good thing, because having the CG back helps increase moment of inertia—a measure of forgiveness. But the M3 also features a more contoured head in which the CG is higher, and it generates more spin. For golfers who need to reduce spin, it’s simply not going to be the right fit.

In some of 2019’s new drivers, like the TaylorMade M6, engineers added mass in lower, more forward parts of the driver head to better optimize the CG for players who need it. This one adjustment reduced spin and delivered more forgiveness. Better yet? The newer model produces more ball speed than its predecessors.

Their new D7 irons bring an incredibly clean look and the ball leaps off the clubface, especially in the longer irons where getting a little more distance is key.
