From Quiz The Grand Slam
Answer:
Bobby Jones
In the modern era, the four major tournaments are the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, the US Open, which are all held in the United States, and the Open Championship, held in the United Kingdom. However, prior to the creation of the Masters in 1934, the majors were considered to be the two open tournaments, and their equivalent for non-professionals, the US Amateur and the Amateur Championship. In 1930, Bobby Jones, one of the most successful golfers of the day, who up to then had won nine majors (three US Opens, four US Amateurs and two Open Championships), became the first player to win all four in a single year - he won the Amateur Championship at St Andrews at the end of May; the Open Championship at Hoylake in the third week of June; the US Open at Interlachen in mid-July; and the US Amateur at Merion at the end of September, taking his tally of major victories to 13. The first player to hold all four of the modern major titles at the same time was Tiger Woods, although this was over two successive years, with his victories coming at the 2000 US Open, 2000 Open Championship, 2000 PGA and 2001 Masters.
