Every count above is from Golf Network News’s record; the parts marked “To be written” are filled only from sourced research.
Every championship here comes from Golf Network News's own record: the rooms for the majors, the women's majors, the amateur championships and the team cups. A part that says it is not yet researched is exactly that. We fill it from sourced material, never with a guess.
The picture at the top is drawn in code for each year. It is printed the way golf was printed that year: wood engravings before 1900, newsprint halftones to 1945, hand-tinted plates to 1969, colour film to 1999, and digital light since. The names engraved in the numerals are that year's champions.
Every view has its own address: the year, the tours, the event and a traced champion are kept in the link, so you can share exactly what you see.
