Prestige is where the heart is.
"I never played in one major championship where I knew what the prize money was, nor did I care. That's how you know it's a major," says three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin. "When it's all about the trophy and the accomplishment and the satisfaction in winning, then you've found your major, whether it's one of the four traditional ones or something else you point to. It's the intangibles."
"Everybody has their own choice, and I think in most regards it's something pretty personal," adds Curtis, the 2003 British Open champion. "Every guy out here wants to win any week he plays. Every win is kind of special. But I think we all have our preferences, what we'll look back on one day and say, well I won 'this,' and it'll be as big to us as any major championship."
