• "The men's major golf championships (majors)" – "The men's major golf championships, also known as majors,"
• "The four competitions are" – "The competitions are" – since "four" is already mentioned earlier
• "recognized" is American spelling I believe, not "recognised", and I think this article should use American spelling since three of the four championships are American.
• "in 1930 the Masters had yet to be established" – "in 1930, the Masters was not yet established"
• "was not at that time considered to be a major" – "was not considered to be a major at that time"
• ", his last major victory being in" – "; his last major victory was at"

• "The men's major golf championships, also known as majors, are the four most prestigious events in professional golf." According to whom are they the most prestigious events?
• "as of yet, no one has completed this feat, although Tiger Woods has held all four majors at once, a feat recognised as the Tiger Slam."
• "Bobby Jones is recognised as completing a grand slam in 1930" Awkward wording.
• "in 1930, the Masters was not yet to be established"-->in 1930, the Masters had not been established
• "and the PGA Championship was not considered to be a major at that time."
• "Jack Nicklaus holds the record for winning the most majors, winning 18 during his career"-->Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors, more than any other golfer.

Personally I think this sentence is fine the way it is, and the one your suggesting is in my eyes worse than the current sentence. NapHit (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Walter Hagen is third with 11 majors,[5] including a record five PGA Championships, a record Hagen holds jointly with Jack Nicklaus."-->Walter Hagen is third with 11 majors. He and Jack Nicklaus have both won the most PGA Championships with 5.
• "Nicklaus also shares the record for the most U.S. Open victories, with Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan, each winning this competition four times." The first comma is not needed.
• "While the U.S. Amateur Championship and British Amateur Championship were once considered to be majors" "While"-->Although. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:43, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
