In 1937, entertainer Bing Crosby hosted the first National Pro-Am Golf Championship in southern California at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, the event's location prior to World War II. Sam Snead won the first tournament, then just 18 holes, with a winner's share of $500. A second round was added in 1938 and was played through 1942. After the war, it resumed in 1947 as a 54-hole event, up the coast on golf courses near Monterey, where it has been played ever since.
When it comes to ranking the Best Players Without a Major, it's never been harder. Rory McIlroy's PGA Championship ended a streak in which 16 straight major championships were won by 16 different players. Twelve of those, by the way, were first-time major-winners. The last time golf enjoyed such a depth of major champions was probably 1998, when Mark O'Meara won the British Open a few months after the Masters and ended a run of 15 different major winners in a row.
