From: jason-catlin on 20 Jul 2008 10:08 I would imagine it's either the British Open or the Masters. But is there any sort of consensus as to how the four majors rank in terms of prestige?

US Open British Open Masters PGA Its funny how the British seems to have passed it among some fans....for most of the last 70 years its not been close. The US Open and the other "Open" are true championships of golf...they will always be a step above the other two majors.
