About this puzzle

Sports trophies carry the prestige of the events they represent, but their first-awarded years do not follow the order of the sports' popularity. Golf's oldest major predates Wimbledon's singles trophy by just a few years, while the gap between the Stanley Cup and the World Cup stretches across four decades. The trick is ranking the hardware rather than the fame of the tournament.
