Can you name the 3 golfers to win one each of the 4 majors while in their 20's?

I am going to guess Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods

That's probably a good guess--there aren't that many people to have won the four biggies in their entire careers, much less in their twenties. I'd throw Bobby Jones in there, perhaps, but I don't know who I'd pull out in his place.

I can confirm Woods and Nickalus...Gary Player? Let me check...

You are corect - Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan also won all four, but not in their twenties.

I just checked--Bobby Jones not only completed the career slam in his twenties--he did it in one year, in 1930, when he was 28 years old. When he was playing, the Slam was the British Amateur and Open, and the US Amateur and Open Championships.
