The Masters vs. The Open

photo credit: Philip Larson   There are 4 Major Championships in the world, The Masters, the US. Open, The Open and the PGA Championship.  The question is, which should be No.1.

The Masters and The Open are the two top contenders.  The Masters is America’s premier golf event, played at Augusta National, the number one ranked course in America.  It’s the only major played on the same course. 

The Open is the UK’s most popular golf event.  It is played on various courses in the British Isles, golf’s birthplace.  Of the four majors, The Open is the oldest, some say, that’s the very reason it should be ranked No. 1.  The debate goes on and may never be decided, maybe it’s best for game if it isn’t .
