Collin Morikawa may be just 27, but he's already established himself as one of the best players on the PGA Tour.

Morikawa burst onto the PGA Tour in 2019, winning the Barracuda Championship during his rookie season and following that up with a win at the PGA Championship just over a year later.

At the time, Morikawa was viewed as a budding star. Now, he's in his prime and has six wins under his belt.

Among golf's young stars, few have as good of a resume as Morikawa does in majors. He is aiming to win another at the 2024 PGA Championship and entered the final day tied atop the leaderboard with Xander Schauffele.

Here's what to know about Morikawa's major wins to date and how he's fared playing at the PGA Championship and Masters

How many majors has Collin Morikawa won?

  • PGA Championship
  • Open Championship

That puts Morikawa halfway toward completing the career grand slam.

When was the last time Collin Morikawa won a major?

Morikawa last won a major at the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England. It was Morikawa's first appearance at the British Open, so he became the first player to win in his Open Championship debut since Ben Curtis in 2003.

Morikawa entered the final round of the championship trailing Louis Oosthuizen — who led after each of the first three rounds — by one stroke. Morikawa shot a bogey-free 4-under to overtake Oosthuizen, who carded a 1-over, while staving off competition from Jordan Spieth to win his second major.

Below is a breakdown of Morikawa's four rounds at the event:

Morikawa entered the tournament's final day in a three-way tie for fourth place, two strokes off Dustin Johnson's lead. Morikawa was making his PGA Championship debut but managed to sink a clutch eagle putt after driving the green at the 16th hole to punctuate an improbable victory.
