"All four majors are definitely a priority"
About this Quote
“All four majors are definitely a priority” is the kind of sentence that sounds bland until you hear the pressure humming underneath it. Karrie Webb isn’t making a philosophical claim; she’s staking out a season-long identity. In pro golf, majors aren’t just tournaments, they’re the currency of legacy. Saying they’re “definitely” a priority is both a declaration and a defensive posture: a way to tell sponsors, media, and rivals that the calendar has a hierarchy, and she intends to live at the top of it.
The phrasing is revealingly controlled. Not “I want” or “I’m chasing” - verbs that invite vulnerability - but “are a priority,” the language of planning, professionalism, and risk management. Athletes learn to speak in structures because desire can be used against you. This is ambition with the sharp edges sanded down for public consumption.
There’s also a quiet flex in the number: “all four.” Many players circle one venue that fits their game, one major that feels attainable. Webb frames the entire set as hers to contend for, a signal of breadth and confidence. Coming from a player of her era and stature, it reads as both expectation and standard-setting: if you’re measuring greatness, don’t cherry-pick.
The subtext is about time. Majors are limited chances, yearly windows that close fast. Calling them a priority is really acknowledging the clock - and insisting she’ll spend her peak where history gets written.
