Brooks Koepka's win at the US Open extended the streak of maiden major winners to seven in a row, but which of these "nearly men" would you like to see land a major title next?
The leaderboard at The 146th Open features a number of names who have been consistent performers in the grand slam events, although they have yet to get over the line.
So who do you want to see breaking their major duck first?
Ian Poulter
"The Postman" always delivered for Europe while decked in Ryder Cup clothing, but he has yet to add a major victory to his collection of 12 European Tour titles - including two World Golf Championship wins.
Now 41, Poulter has posted eight top-10 finishes in the big events, his best being his runner-up finish at Royal Birkdale in 2008, but he has been in great form since pushing Si Woo Kim all the way at The Players Championship in May and he has enjoyed an encouraging start this week.
Matt Kuchar
The American has been one of the most consistent performers in the world week-in, week-out on the PGA Tour, and the 39-year-old has a solid record in the majors with eight top-10 finishes since 2010.
"Kooch" landed his biggest win at The Players Championship in 2012 and also won the WGC-Match Play the following year, but can he add a major to his resume?
Rickie Fowler
Fowler may be several years younger than the other contenders on this list, but he has already built up an enviable major record with seven top-10 finishes since 2011.
The 28-year-old had an incredible year in 2014 as he finished fifth, second, second and third in the four majors, and he was also in contention at the Masters and the US Open earlier this year. Can he make his breakthrough in 2017?
Lee Westwood
Where do we start? Racking up no-fewer than 18 top-10 finishes in the majors without winning one is one of golf's mysteries for one of England's most talented players.
Westwood has probably lost count of the number of times he has found himself in the lead, but he has been pipped at the post by the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and many others. Surely, no true golf fan would begrudge the 44-year-old the major victory he has come so close to landing?
