The U.S. Golf Association was founded on Dec. 22, 1894, and in 1895, the U.S. Amateur Championship debuted. It’s the oldest USGA championship.
The U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Amateur weren’t far behind.
The distinguished list of winners of the U.S. Amateur includes Bobby Jones, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods.
In 1930, Jones completed his Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Am at Merion. He won the title five times. In 1996, Woods became the first to win three in a row.
