The PGA Championship is one of the PGA’s four major golf championships. It is exclusively for professional players and was established in 1916. Let’s look at the history of the tournament, winners, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The History of the PGA Championship<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>PGA Championship<\/span><\/a> was established back in 1916, in the same year that the Professional Golf Association of America (PGA) was founded in New York City. The tournament was held in October of that year at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally, the PGA Championship was a match play event in the early fall, but it had been played at any time from May to December. After World War II, the tournament was usually held in Late May or June before being moved to July in 1953. It moved into August in the 60s. In 2019, it was moved to the weekend before Memorial Day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The PGA Championship is played at several different courses, but it is usually played in the eastern half of the United States. The most recent tournament out west was back in 2020 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state of New York has hosted the tournament the most at 14 times, while Ohio has hosted 11, and Pennsylvania has hosted 9 times. It will make it a 10th in 2026 as the tournament is being held at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square.<\/span><\/p>\n
