Arnold Palmer's Guide to the Majors 2011
June 14, 2011
One man above all others is responsible for the concept of the modern-day grand slam of four major championships in golf. That man is Arnold Palmer, who hatched the idea of linking the Masters, the British and US Opens, and the PGA Championship while he was flying to compete in the centenary British Open at St. Andrews on the east coast of Scotland back in 1960.
One year later, Mr. Palmer won the first of his two British Opens - his fourth 'major' triumph - at Birkdale on the northwest coast of England. And a full half-century later, his once speculative idea now dominates the golfing calendar with all the top professionals and TV networks from throughout the world joining forces four times a year to showcase all that is great about the game.
As a tribute, not only to Mr. Palmer's groundbreaking influence but also to the excellence of today's players and championship courses, bespoke publisher TMC USA, LLC has launched Arnold Palmer's Guide to the 2011 Majors. This high-quality publication, over 180 pages in length, featuring interviews with each current major champion and packed with articles by many of the world's leading golf journalists and images from numerous outstanding photographers, is now available at Borders, Barnes & Noble and leading news stands across the United States.
