Explore the Big Four’s History with Fox in the Now
The U.S. Open, The Masters, the PGA Championship, and The Open Championship are considered major golf tournaments in America, and participating in them can be the highlight of many golfing careers.
Each of "The Big Four" has its own history, distinct courses, and formats, and for the lucky few who get to be on the course, they're also the perfect opportunity to see the sport in all of its stylish beauty.
Today, we'll explain everything you need to know about each major tournament, including when and where they take place and what to wear to look great while feeling comfortable.
We at Fox in the Now believe that proper attire is one of the most important things, whether you're a participant or an observer, and if you’re wondering what to wear in golf tournaments, we even have a guide for you.
The Masters: The Most Iconic
The Masters, widely regarded as the most famous of the four major championships, was first staged in 1934 and is played annually at Georgia's Augusta National Golf Club, one of the world's most magnificent courses.
This major golf tournament was founded by investment banker Clifford Roberts and golf legend Bobby Jones. It is well known for its "Amen Corner," a series of difficult holes that test all players' precision and resolve.
The Masters is also well known for its more fashion-forward traditions, like the exclusive Champion's Dinner, where past champions gather for a private meal and the green jacket each champion gets awarded.

The PGA Championship: The Most Diverse
Since its start in 1916, the PGA Championship has represented the second event in the major golf tournament schedule.
During its early years, it had a match-play format, but this changed to stroke play in 1958 to include more people. The venue for the PGA changes courses each year, and over the years, it has been held at renowned courses such as Oak Hill, and Baltusrol.
The beauty of the PGA Championship is that it gives room for both the cream and newly minted talent to shine while challenging them with variety, as many of them won't get to play on the actual course until the competition.

A great way to stand out from the competition is to look just as good as you play, and our women's slim fit golf polo shirts will help you do just that.

The U.S. Open: The Hardest One
Image -
Established in 1895, the U.S. Open is one of the oldest and most challenging of the Big Four, and is usually the third in the major golf tournament schedule.
Courses are chosen with the goal of challenging players and pushing them to their limits by featuring narrow fairways and fast greens, which frequently result in scores over par, creating a level of high-stakes and drama you won't find elsewhere.
The U.S. Open is held on a different course each year, though there have been several repeat venues, including Pebble Beach, Oakmont, and Winged Foot, legendary settings that add attraction and history to the already elite tournament.
