The Indian Wells tournament and the Players Championship are often unofficially referred to as the 鈥渇ifth Grand Slam鈥� and the 鈥渇ifth major鈥� of tennis and men's golf respectively. But could those nicknames ever become a reality 鈥� and who gets to confer that status on them? What makes some tournaments 鈥榤ajor鈥�, and why do they seem to matter more?

麻豆社 golf correspondent Iain Carter talks to More than the Score鈥檚 Ade Adedoyin about how the Open, the Masters, the US Open and the US PGA came to be regarded as the four majors of the men鈥檚 game 鈥� even though other tournaments previously had that status too.
