Known as the world's most exclusive golf tournament, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf is an annual event contested by that year's winners of the four major championships; the Masters Tournament, the U.S. Open, The Open Championship (a.k.a. the British Open), and the PGA Championship.
The PGA Grand Slam of Golf was established in 1979, and is highly regarded by PGA Tour pros as the toughest qualifying event in all of golf. The tournament is held in the fall, after the PGA and European Tour seasons have ended, thus allowing the winners of the current season's four Major Championships to compete in the highly anticipated event, and providing a spectacular climax to the golfing calendar.
Having grown from an 18-hole, single-day event, to a 2-day, 36-hole annual showdown which pits pro golf's best against the best, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf is played in front of a global television audience, encompassing more than 100 countries.
The inaugural Grand Slam was fought at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, resulting with 1978 US Open winner, Andy North, and the 1978 Masters winner, Gary Player, sharing the victory as co-winners. Since then, the Grand Slam has been played on a different course each year, including many of the finest courses in the United States. However, from 1994 to 2006, the tournament settled down at the Poipu Bay Golf Course, in Kolaoa, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Then, in 2007, the Grand Slam found itself on the move once again, landing at the Mid Ocean Club in Bermuda.
