The four most prestigious tournaments in the golfing calendar (or 'majors') are (in order of when played): the Masters (which is always held at Augusta National Golf Club in [[Georgia]], the only major played on the same course), the PGA Championship, the United States Open, and the Open Championship (commonly called the British Open to differentiate it from other countries' Open championships, such as the US Open).  The Players Championship (TPC), played annually at TPC Sawgrass outside of Jacksonville, Florida, is sometimes called the "fifth major" (and offers the largest purse outside the majors along with more points toward world rankings other than the majors); its popularity is due to the course's notable #17 hole, a short par-3 where the green is totally surrounded by water (the Island Green).
