Tiger Woods at a Glance
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) -- Here's a look a Tiger Woods' record compared to the four other players who have won golf's grand slam:
  • Five players have achieved the grand slam: Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen. 
  • Nicklaus is the only one to do it more than once. He did it three times at 26, 31 and 38. He would have completed a fourth but finished second seven times in the British Open. 
  • It took Sarazen 13 years after his first major victory to complete the slam. He was 33. Hogan needed seven years, overcame a near-fatal car crash, and was 41. Player, the only non-American to do it, needed six years and was 28. Nicklaus was 26 and needed four years. Woods is 24 and did it in three. 
  • Woods is the first player since Nicklaus in '72 to hold three of the four major championships. Nicklaus won the '71 PGA and added the Masters and U.S. Open the following season. He finished a shot behind Lee Trevino at the '72 British Open, where he was trying to 
  • become the first player to hold all four at the same time. 
  • Woods is the first to complete the U.S. Open and British Open double since Tom Watson in '82. If he successfully defends the PGA 
  • at Vahalla next month he will be the first to win three majors in one season since Ben Hogan in '53. 
  • Players who have won three majors but not the fourth: Walter Hagen, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, Byron Nelson and Ray Floyd
