We were absolutely spoiled in 2022.
First, Scottie Scheffler won his fourth event of the year and first major championship at August National.
Two months later, Justin Thomas scored his first major since 2017 and won the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.
Matt Fitzpatrick, who won the 2013 U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, captured his first Tour victory at the U.S. Open.
And, lastly, Cam Smith won the 150th Open at the Old Course in St. Andrews.
Not only were the eventual champions some of the biggest names in the sport, but the venues were A1.
Check out the full 2023 men’s major championship lineup below.
