Apparently they do not have majors but all workers have relatively big heads. The internet has a good amount of information about them, just use Google.

The only Pogonomyrmex which has major workers is P. badius.

Correct. As posted above, Pogonomyrmex are just relatively huge in capsule size, with one species only of having majors only.
