Triple Crown (golf)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golf term for winning three major golf championships in the same year

TheTriple Crown of Golf is the winning of threemajor golf championships in the same year. This feat has been accomplished only twice in modern golf history:

Ben Hogan holding theClaret Jug in 1953
  • In 1953,Ben Hogan won theMasters, theU.S. Open, andThe Open Championship, which was touted as the Triple Crown. The dates of thePGA Championship overlapped with The Open that year, which made winning theGrand Slam impossible. The PGA Championship was also a match play event during that era. After winning The Open (the third major of the year), Hogan was honored with aticker tape parade in New York.[1]
  • In 2000,Tiger Woods won the last three majors (the U.S. Open, The Open, and the PGA Championship), which was called "Tiger's Triple Crown."[2] Woods also held thePGA Tour's Triple Crown that year (see below) and would win the 2001 Masters, which was the next major, for a non-calendar year Grand Slam, the first time it has happened in the modern professional game.[3]

The Triple Crown has also been referred to:

  • Winning thePGA Tour's three oldest events in the same year: The Open Championship (1860), the U.S. Open (1895), and theCanadian Open (1904). This combination of wins has been called the Triple Crown of the PGA Tour.[4] There have been two holders of this Triple Crown:Lee Trevino in 1971[5] and Tiger Woods in 2000.[6] There are only six players to carry the career triple crown, winning the three national championship throughout their playing career, Woods, Trevino,Tommy Armour,Walter Hagen,Arnold Palmer, andRory McIlroy.[7][4]
  • Winning the world's three oldest golf tournaments in the same year: The Open Championship (1860), the U.S. Open (1895), and theSouth African Open (1903). No one has won this Triple Crown.[8] Only two players, Gary Player and Ernie Els, have won all three of these events throughout their playing career.
