How Many Majors Does Patrick Cantlay Have?
Patrick Cantlay of Long Beach, California represents the quiet excellence of the modern tour professional. Nicknamed "Patty Ice" for his unflappable demeanor, Cantlay has won in virtually every format and pressure scenario on tour — overtime playoffs, FedEx Cup finals, Ryder Cup matches — but the major championship remains his most coveted prize.
Patrick Cantlay's Major Championship Record
| Major | Wins | Status |

The "Patty Ice" Paradox
What makes Cantlay's major drought puzzling to analysts is his ice-cold reputation in pressure situations. He won the 2021 BMW Championship with a 6-hole aggregate playoff. He's won The Players Championship (sometimes called the fifth major). He's thrived in Ryder Cup singles matches. The ice in his veins should translate to major success.
The most common theory is that Cantlay's methodical, deliberate pace of play occasionally works against him in tournament momentum — and that his peak performances haven't aligned with major championship weeks as often as they have on regular Tour events.
