The Triple Crown of Golf is the winning of the three oldest tournaments in golf in one year. The three oldest tournaments are The Open Championship (1860), the South African Open (1893), and the U.S. Open (1895). But the term is often applied to winning The Open Championship (1860), the U.S. Open (1895), and the Canadian Open (1904).
The Grand Slam in men's golf is an unofficial concept, having changed over time. In the modern era, The Grand Slam is generally considered to be winning all four of golf's major championships in the same calendar year.
