The game of golf that we know today can be traced back to Scotland in the 15th century. It was outlawed by King James II in the 1457 Act of the Scottish Parliament.

Golf was banned in Scotland because soldiers were playing instead of training. It was eventually approved by King James IV of Scotland, who was a golfer himself.

Golf eventually reached England, where its popularity soared in the 19th century. The British took the sport around the world, building courses as far off as India and China.

The first major championship was the precursor to the British Open. It was held at the Prestwick Golf Club in 1860.

The Masters Tournament was the last major tournament to be established. It was first held in 1934.
