Before the professional game acquired its modern dominance, the British Amateur and the U.S. Amateur were regarded as majors. Many people consider this usage obsolete, while others make a distinction between professional majors and total majors. In any case, if wins in these tournaments are included there are four men with ten or more major titles: Jack Nicklaus 20; Bobby Jones 13; Tiger Woods 13; Walter Hagen 11.
