men's major golf championships
women's golf does not have a globally agreed set of majors. the list of majors recognised by the dominant women's tour, the lpga tour in the u.s., has changed several times over the years, with the most recent changes occurring in 2001 and 2013. like the pga tour, the (u.s.) lpga tour long had four majors, but now has five: the ana inspiration (previously known by several other names, most recently the kraft nabisco championship), the women's pga championship (previously known as the lpga championship), the u.s. women's open, the women's british open (which replaced the du maurier classic as a major in 2001) and the evian championship (added as the fifth major in 2013). only the last two are also recognised as majors by the ladies european tour. however, the significance of this is limited, as the lpga is far more dominant in women's golf than the pga tour is in mainstream men's golf. for example, the bbc has been known to use the u.s. definition of "women's majors" without qualifying it. also, the ladies' golf union, the governing body for women's golf in great britain and ireland, stated on its official website that the women's british open was "the only women's major to be played outside the u.s." (this was before the elevation of the evian championship to major status). for many years, the ladies european tour tacitly acknowledged the dominance of the lpga tour by not scheduling any of its own events to conflict with the three lpga majors played in the u.s., but that changed beginning in 2008, when the let scheduled an event opposite the lpga championship. the second-richest women's tour, the lpga of japan tour, does not recognise any of the u.s. lpga or european majors as it has its own set of majors (historically three, since 2008 four). however, these events attract little notice outside japan.
