Which colleges have produced the most major championships since 2000?
Since the start of the new millennium, there have been 103 men's major championships contested. The only time a major has not been held since 2000 was the 2020 Open Championship, which was postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That year, the other majors were all postponed to the fall, with the Masters being played consecutively in November of 2020 and then again in April of 2021.
Among those major champions since 200 include one of the greatest golfers of all-time, two who have completed the career Grand Slam and numerous others who sit only one major title away from joining golf's elite list of Grand Slam winners.
But, there's also another angle to look at all of the men's major champions: where did they go to college? Of the 103 total majors, 71 were won by those who attended college inside the United States. Some went to schools in Asia or Europe, but a large percentage went to college at some of the best universities in the country. Many of them had success in the collegiate ranks, and it set the foundation for what was to come on the world's biggest stages in the sport.
So, which college has produced the most major championships and major champions since 2000? It starts with a Big Cat in a tree on the west coast.
