Great Triumvirate (golf)
Group of three accomplished British golfers / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Triumvirate, in a golfing context, refers to the three leading British golfers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Harry Vardon, John Henry Taylor, and James Braid. The trio combined to win The Open Championship 16 times in the 21 tournaments held between 1894 and 1914; Vardon won six times with Braid and Taylor winning five apiece.[1][2][3] In the five tournaments in this span the triumvirate did not win, one or more of them finished runner-up.
