In The Majors, bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein accompanies a dozen top golfers as they play the major tournaments, revealing what it takes to win such exalted prizes. He takes us onto the course and back into the rooms to show us how decisions are made on what players will be paired together and where the holes will be placed on different days- including the disastrous placement that caused such outrage at the U.S. Open.

Most of all, The Majors shows us the greatest golfers of our time under the greatest pressure they ever experience- how Payne Stewart manages to sleep when he has the lead at the U.S. Open, how Mark O'Meara paces himself for a masterful Sunday, how Daly deals with frustration and maintains his sobriety. Just as he explored the daily demands of a year on tour in his bestseller A Good Walk Spoiled, John Feinstein here reveals how champions get their putters back when the championship is on the line.
