Six golfers have won the career Grand Slam in golf, meaning they have won all four of the modern major championships (The Masters, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and PGA Championship) at least once during their careers. These golfers are:

  • Gene Sarazen
  • Ben Hogan
  • Gary Player
  • Jack Nicklaus
  • Tiger Woods
  • Rory McIlroy

Tiger Woods uniquely held all four major titles simultaneously from 2000 to 2001, an achievement called the "Tiger Slam," though not in the same calendar year

. Bobby Jones also won a Grand Slam, but in a different era with a different set of tournaments before the Masters existed

. Thus, in the modern era, six golfers have completed the career Grand Slam.
