The first time someone completed what we call golf’s modern career Grand Slam was 1935, although nobody knew it then. That’s when Gene Sarazen won the Augusta National Invitation Tournament … which eventually became known as the Masters … which eventually gained status as one of the four men’s professional majors.

Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Masters in a playoff against Justin Rose on the 18th hole, becoming the sixth golfer in history to complete the Grand Slam.
