Quiz: Senior Major Winners Since 2000
When golfers turn 50, their attention might start turning towards the five senior majors… But which players have been successful?
Each year, there are five senior major championships, but can you name all of the winners of those events since 2000 on our quiz?
The senior major calendar consists of five events each year – the Regions Tradition, the Senior PGA Championship, the US Senior Open, the Kaulig Companies Championship and the Senior Open Championship.
Since the turn of the millennium, there have 117 senior major championships, but don’t worry, you won’t have to type out that many names.
There are plenty of names that have won multiple senior majors. One man has won 12 of them, while some have five, six and seven. Get those, and you’ll take a big chunk out of this quiz!

Matt Coles
Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
