My favorites in order are the Masters, British Open, US Open, PGA. The PGA hardly seems like a major, though. The tourney at Bobby Jones's old club of East Lake seems much more prestigious than the PGA IMO.

The Masters needs to bring back 18-hole tiebreak, though. As much as they honor the sport of golf, I'm surprised they use sudden death. I think Ben Hogan said as much.

The Masters, The Open (I'll give it to the Brits to call it what they want), Tournament Players Championship at Sawgrass, and US Open. I know it's a major, but I hardly ever look forward to the PGA like I do these others.
The Masters is still the tops.

1- Masters
8- US Open
9- The Open
10- PGA

Most of the others I do not even watch. With apologies to the Players lovers.......I don't buy the hype that the players and tv commentators want to put on the Players Championship. The course is easy unless the rough is six inches high, Sawgrass was a better and harder course for the tournament. Also, the Majors have requirements that include winning something, not being high on some money list which many are without winning. Top all of that off with them moving the tournament out of March where the wind would howl to May where it does not, and it just is not as good as it was before.

1-US Open- I'm always n vacation in Gulf Shores that week and it cool to watch at the beach.
2-TPC Sawgrass- I was there when Fred Funk won it and I love the course.
Should be considered the 5th major.
3- Masters- What is there left to say
