A brief history of the PGA Championship

The PGA Championship holds the honour of being the final major men’s championship played during the season.

Established in 1916, it is organised by the Professional Golfers Association of America.

The first PGA Championship was held at Siwanoy Country Club in New York 1916, and was won by Englishman Jim Barnes.

He received $500 and a gold medal donated by Rodman Wanamaker.

Every player in the field plays for the coveted Wanamaker Trophy, with the eventual champion taking home a replica trophy, for a year.

Originally a matchplay style tournament, it now follows a 72-hole stroke play format over four days, from Thursday to Sunday.

Winning the PGA Championship proves to bring great security to any player. Its ensures automatic invitations to play in the other three majors for the next five years.

The champion receives membership on the PGA and European Tours for the following five seasons.

Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus hold the record for most PGA Championship titles with five each – Hagen in the matchplay era and Nicklaus in stroke play.

Tiger Woods has four titles with his first coming in 1999 where he beat Sergio Garcia by a stroke in 2007.

Gene Sarazen is the youngest winner of the Wanamaker in 1922 at 20 years and 5 months old. With the oldest being Julius Boros in 1968 at 48 years and 4 months old.

Rory McIlroy has the largest margin of victory, where he won by eight shots in 2012 at Kiawah Island, beating the previous record of seven held by Jack Nicklaus.

Where is the 2018 PGA Championship?

For the second time, the PGA Championship will return to Bellerive Country Club.

Along with Old Warson, Westwood and St. Louis country clubs it’s considered one of the ‘big four’ elite St. Louis clubs.

After its remodel in 1960 the course hosted it’s first USGA Championship, the 1965 US Open won by Gary Player.

Since then it has gone on to host the 2013 Senior PGA Championship and will host the 100th PGA Championship in 2018.
