As a new golfing year gets underway in South Africa and Hawaii this week, we take a trip down memory lane to look back at some of the golfing anniversaries to look out for during 2016.
1916 - 100 years ago
The PGA Championship reaches its centenary year when it gets to Baltusrol this July, with the tournament originally launching as a 32-player, 36-hole match play event at Siwanov Country Club in New York.
England's Jim Barnes won the inaugural event, which wouldn't introduce its current stroke play format for more than four decades.
1966 - 50 years ago
In a sporting year which saw England win the World Cup on home soil, Jack Nicklaus was making the golfing headlines by completing double major success.
The American followed a second Augusta title 12 months earlier with a play-off win over Tommy Jacobs and Gay Brewer to become the first back-to-back Masters champion.
Nicklaus then went on to complete a career Grand Slam later that summer at Muirfield, with a one-stroke win giving him his first of three Open Championship titles.
It wasn't just the future 18-time major champion who impressed over the season, as Billy Casper produced a record-breaking comeback at the US Open to stun Arnold Palmer and claim victory.
Casper headed to the back nine in San Francisco seven shots off the pace, but posted six birdies after the turn to force an unlikely play-off, where he claimed a four-stroke victory.
1991 - 25 years ago
Maiden major winners dominated the agenda, with Ian Woosnam becoming Wales' only major winner when he edged out Jose Maria Olazabal and Tom Watson at the Masters to move world No 1.
Ian Baker-Finch followed suit with an unlikely Claret Jug when he finished two clear of Mike Harwood at Royal Birkdale, before John Daly added to the list of new champions when the-then world No 169 took advantage of a late call up to the PGA Championship to take a three-shot victory at Crooked Stick.
Daly was the last entry to the 151-man field as the ninth alternate but benefited from Nick Price's late withdrawal, opening with a 69 before moving in to the second round lead and holding on to his advantage throughout the week.
Payne Stewart completed the list of major champions by seeing off Scott Simpson in a 18-hole play-off at Hazeltine for US Open glory, before playing a key role in an American Ryder Cup victory in what would later be remembered as the 'War on the Shore'.
Tempers flared between Seve Ballesteros and Paul Azinger just like they had done two years before, with tensions running high right up until the very last putt, which Bernhard Langer missed to end Europe's six-year reign.
1996 - 20 years ago
This year marks two decades since Tiger Woods first made an impression in professional golf, winning two tournaments in the space of three starts, and a matter of weeks after winning the US Amateur Championship for a third year running.
Woods had missed the cut at the Masters earlier in the spring, which was best remembered for Nick Faldo's remarkable final-round comeback against Greg Norman.
The Englishman had trailed the-then world No 1 by six strokes heading in to the final round at Augusta, but rallied to post a five-under 67 to take a five-shot victory.
