Alun Evans' The Golf Majors Book 2020 - Paperback

by Alun Evans (Author)

The world's most comprehensive source of information in print, both in paperback and Kindle ebook, on the Major Championships of Golf for over 20 years. The history, present and future of The Open Championship, inaugurated way back in 1860, and the development over 120 years of the US Open (1895), The PGA Championship (1916) and the Masters Tournament (1934), is chronicled in detailed reports and backed up by the most comprehensive statistics available on Golf's premier events. Evans, nominated for 'From Old Tom to the Tiger' in the British Sports Book Awards in 2012, provides the only regularly and accurately updated resource needed to keep abreast of these historic events. In this, the 2020 edition, he welcomes the return of Tiger Woods to Majors-winning ways when he won his fifth Masters Green Jacket - but only his first Major, since 2008; and the continuing predator-like performances of Brooks Koepka who clinically collected his fourth Major title in three seasons. He reports on the much-anticipated return of the Open to Royal Portrush in almost 70 years, and in only the second visit to the island of Ireland to hail a home-grown Champion there in Shane Lowry. He also looks forward to the Majors of 2020, welcoming back to Major Championships iconic courses like Winged Foot and Royal St George's, before returning statistically to the past glories of these, the pinnacle of all golfing events, through records and tables and information of all sorts. Every year, the author produces a mine of facts, scores, comparisons and the rest to top the previous year. A must for every golf fan, and those fans who want to read about some of the greatest achievements in any sport!
