Women's British Open
- Venue: St Andrews
- Date: 1-4 August
While it seems each men's major produces a different winner, the contrast couldn't be greater in the women's game where Inbee Park may make history this week.
The 25-year-old from Seoul heads to St Andrews in Scotland knowing victory in the Women's British Open would make her the first player, male or female, to win four professional majors in the same year.
Tiger Woods held the quartet of men's majors simultaneously, but the sequence began when he won the US Open in 2000. He completed the "Tiger Slam" at the following year's Masters.
Park has collected a remarkable six victories already in 2013, claiming the second major of her career when she won the Kraft Nabisco title in April.
Then she overcame Scotland's Catriona Matthew in a play-off to win the LPGA Championship before a four-stroke victory in the US Open.
"Not many golfers get that kind of opportunity, winning three majors and going for a calendar Grand Slam in a British Open," Park said.
"And at such a great golf course and such a historical golf course. I think I'm just very lucky to have that kind of opportunity. I think I should be very appreciative where I'm positioned."
Park admitted: "I didn't really think about doing a calendar Grand Slam in my career in golf ever. It's something that I never dreamed of achieving, to the point where I thought it was impossible.
"It would be doing something that is impossible, I think. But I put myself in a very close position to be achieving that goal."
St Andrews has seen many a golfing story down the years; this week might provide one that is more special than most.
