Part II is an alphabetical list of every player who participated in a Major. Data for each
appearance are final position, round-by-round and total score, total score in relation to par,
total score at the end of rounds two and three, position at the end of rounds one through three,
shots behind the winner (for the winner, shots ahead of the second place finisher), and win-
nings (prize money).
Appendix A lists the sites, dates, and field data for all tournaments.
The Data
Prior to the later 20th century, much information on the Majors was incomplete, contra-
dictory, and inconsistent in newspapers, golf magazines and books, golf websites, and in the
1
“official records” of the tournament organization. There are typos, calculation errors, and
confirmed wrong information. There are differences in the round and total scores for a player
and in the reason for a player not completing the entire tournament. Participants sometimes
appear in one source and not in another.
Within a particular source, there are inaccuracies in the finish position—some miscalcu-
lations, some typos—and round scores that do not calculate to the listed total score. Newspa-
pers sometimes show a player in the round 1 results list with, for example, 71 and then in the
round 2 results list with 73/79. Different publications frequently have result lists of different
lengths and with different scores.
The “official records” used as the primary reference sources for this book are the annual
Media Guides produced by the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship, the “Record
Books” produced by the USGA, Royal and Ancient Championships 1860–1980 (with a supple-
ment from 1981–1984) published by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and edited by Peter Ryde,
and the “History” pages of the R&A Website,
The figures from these sources were accepted unless there were obvious errors which could
be corrected and verified. Then current newspapers and golf periodicals, assumed to be correct
for their timeliness, were used to cross check the results. Players and scores not in the “official
records” were added from these publications. Some clarifying information was obtained directly
from the tournament operating organization.
Nevertheless, questions remain, though all attempts have been made to ensure accuracy.

e.g., 5 = fifth place
T indicates a tie for the position; e.g., 5T = tie for fifth place
PO indicates the position was the result of a playoff; e.g., 5PO = won playoff for 5th place
CUT: cut after round 2 or round 3. Round 3 cuts are listed before round 2 cuts.
DF: defaulted (forfeited a match)
DQ: disqualified; disqualifications later in the tournament are listed after earlier disqualifications.
WD: withdrew
UNK: unknown; round scores are unknown and, therefore, position is unknown
Player: player’s name. For some players, following the name are (earlier) or (later). Such indi-
cates that the player is either earlier or later in elapsed years from another player with the
same name. For some players, parentheses following the name contain a country to dis-
tinguish two players with the same name.
R1: round 1 score
R2: round 2 score
R3: round 3 score
R4: round 4 score
R2T: score after round 2 (sum of R1 + R2)
R3T: score after round 3 (sum of R1 + R2 + R3)
3
R1P: position at the completion of round 1; T indicates a tie for the position. Round positions
are not provided for a tournament in which scores for that round for one or more players
are unknown.
R2P: position at the completion of round 2; T indicates a tie for the position. Round positions
are not provided for a tournament in which scores for that round for one or more players
are unknown.
R3P: position at the completion of round 3; T indicates a tie for the position. Round positions
are not provided for a tournament in which scores for that round for one or more players
are unknown.
SBW: number of shots behind the winner at the completion of the tournament; for the win-
ner, a minus sign (-) preceding the numeral indicates the number of shots ahead of sec-

number until the later 1900s when the field for all tournaments generally was set at 156.
For early tournaments, contradictions exist from publication to publication and in edi-
tions of the same publication. The “numbers” in this book may not be those found in var-
ious publications, for they are the result of all of the players who apparently did and/or
were scheduled to participate as determined by research. For a number of tournaments,
players were added to those in the “official records” from research.
Holes: total number of holes played in the tournament, not including play-offs (stroke play tour-
naments only)
MC1: missed Cut 1; number of players who were cut after round 2 in tournaments in which
there were two cuts
MC2: missed Cut 2; number of players who were cut after round 3 in tournaments in which
there were two cuts. Cuts after round 3, in addition to those made after round 2, were
made in The Open Championship from 1968 through 1985 and in the PGA Champi-
onship from 1958 through 1960 and in 1962 and 1964.
Name May Be: possible name of the player (unconfirmed) other than that in column 1
Num: number indicating the sequential number of the tournament; e.g., 43 = 43rd U.S. Open
Championship
Par: par for the course over which the tournament was played
Player: player’s name. For some players, following the name are (earlier) or (later). Such indi-
cates that the player is either earlier or later in elapsed years from another player with the
same name. For some players, parentheses following the name contain a country abbrevi-
ation to distinguish two players with the same name.
Rounds: number of holes played in each round on each day of the tournament including play-
offs; days are separated by a dash; multiple rounds in a day are within parentheses. For
several tournaments, the rounds are shown as 4@9 while the scores are for two rounds of
18 holes.
P = round postponed by weather
O = scheduled “off day”
PO = playoff (preceded by numeral indicating the number of holes played); example: 18-
18-P-(18 18+2PO); one round of eighteen holes on days one and two; day three was post-
