Sam Barnard, Assistant Sports Editor | June 24, 2016
We’re already two golfing Majors down in 2016, with Danny Willett and Dustin Johnson claiming their first-ever titles at The Masters and US Open respectively.
There is still a lot to play for during rest of the year, however, as The Open and USPGA Championships are upcoming, while the Ryder Cup and Summer Olympics are events to look forward to too.
Read on below for Coral’s results of previous Majors and odds for forthcoming tournaments….
The Masters 2016 results
Willett claimed his first ever Major title after capitalising on a dramatic capitulation by defending champion Jordan Spieth at Augusta.
