For that matter, if you add up all the majors won by those who now call Palm Beach County (and Jupiter Island) home, that total would come to an amazing 81. Of course, 33 of those were won by Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Here is a list of all those local golfers and how many majors they have on their resumes:
