The '''PGA Championship''' (often referred to as the '''US PGA Championship''' or '''USPGA''' outside the [[United States]]<ref>{{cite book |title=The Golf Book |publisher=Dorling Kindersley |isbn=978-1-4053-3936-0 |page=23 |date=2008 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c-2ua7n2AXoC&pg=PA23 |access-date=10 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Edmund |first1=Nick |title=Heineken World of Golf 93 |date=May 1993 |publisher=Stanley Paul |isbn=978-0-09-178100-2 |pages=66–68}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Steel |first1=Donald |last2=Ryde |first2=Peter |last3=Wind |first3=Herbert Warren |title=The Encyclopedia of Golf |year=1975 |publisher=Viking Press |isbn=978-0-670-29401-5}}</ref>) is an annual [[golf]] tournament conducted by the [[Professional Golfers' Association of America]]. The PGA is one of the four [[men's major golf championships]] (the others being [[The Open Championship|The Open]], the [[Masters Tournament|Masters]], and the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]]) and is the only one of the four that is exclusively for professional players.

It was formerly played in mid-August on the third weekend before [[Labor Day]] weekend, serving as the fourth and final men's major of the golf season. Beginning in 2019, the tournament is played in May on the weekend before [[Memorial Day]], as the season's second major following the Masters in April. It is an official money event on the [[PGA Tour]], [[European Tour]], and [[Japan Golf Tour]], with a purse of [[United States dollar|$]]11&nbsp;million for the 100th edition in [[2018 PGA Championship|2018]].

In line with the other majors, winning the PGA gains privileges that improve career security. PGA champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors and [[The Players Championship]] for the next five years, and are eligible for the PGA Championship for life. They also earn a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a seven-year membership on the [[DP World Tour]].

The PGA Championship has been held at various venues. Some of the early sites are now quite obscure, but in recent years, the event has generally been played at a small group of celebrated courses.

==History==
{{more citations needed section|date=November 2015}}
In 1894, with 41 golf courses operating in the United States, two unofficial national championships for [[amateur]] golfers were organized. One was held at [[Newport Country Club]] in [[Rhode Island]], and the other at [[Saint Andrew's Golf Club]] in [[New York (state)|New York]]. In addition, and at the same time as the amateur event, Saint Andrew's conducted an Open championship for [[professional]] golfers. None of the championships was officially sanctioned by a governing body for American golf, causing considerable controversy among players and organizers. Later in 1894 this led to the formation of the [[United States Golf Association]] (USGA), which became the first formal golf organization in the country. After the formation of the USGA, golf quickly became a sport of national popularity and importance.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Thakur |first=Pradeep |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G1RwDwAAQBAJ&dq=%2241+golf%22+%221894%22&pg=PA105 |title=Golf: Career Money Leaders |publisher= Lulu.com|year=2010 |isbn=978-0-557-77256-8 |page=105}}</ref>

In February 1916 the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) was established in [[New York City]]. One month earlier, the wealthy department store owner [[Rodman Wanamaker]] hosted a luncheon with the leading golf professionals of the day at the [[Wykagyl Country Club]] in nearby [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]]. The attendees prepared the agenda for the formal organization of the PGA;<ref>''Wykagyl, 1898-1998''; by Desmond Tollhurst and John Barban; pages 28-30</ref> consequently, golf historians have dubbed Wykagyl "The Cradle of the PGA."<ref>''Wykagyl, 1898-1998'' by Desmond Tollhurst and John Barban; pp. 1-2</ref> The new organization's first president was Robert White, one of Wykagyl's best-known golf professionals.<ref name=":0" />

The [[1916 PGA Championship|first]] PGA Championship was held in October 1916 at [[Siwanoy Country Club]] in [[Bronxville, New York]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/2008/history|title=History of the PGA Championship|publisher=PGA of America|access-date=May 1, 2014}}</ref> The winner, [[Jim Barnes (golfer)|Jim Barnes]], received $500 and a diamond-studded gold medal donated by Rodman Wanamaker.

===Format===
The PGA Championship was originally a [[match play]] event in the early fall, but it varied from May to December. After [[World War II]], the championship was usually in late May or late June, then moved to early July in [[1953 PGA Championship|1953]] and a few weeks later in [[1954 PGA Championship|1954]], with the finals played on Tuesday. As a match play event (with a stroke play qualifier), it was not uncommon for the finalists to play over 200 holes in seven days. The [[1957 PGA Championship|1957]] event lost money,<ref name=mpipgsl>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2QcaAAAAIBAJ&pg=3717%2C3494493 |newspaper=Time-News |location=Hendersonville, North Carolina |agency=United Press |title=Medal play in pro golf slated |date=November 15, 1957|page=8}}</ref> and at the PGA meetings in November it was changed to [[stroke play]], starting in [[1958 PGA Championship|1958]], with the standard 72-hole format of 18 holes per day for four days, Thursday to Sunday. Network [[television]] broadcasters, preferring a large group of well-known contenders on the final day, pressured the PGA of America to make the format change.<ref>{{cite book |title=Golf's Golden Grind: A History of the PGA Tour |first=Al |last=Barkow |author-link=Al Barkow |year=1974 |publisher=Harcourt Brace Jovanovich |isbn=978-0151908851 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/golfsgoldengrind00bark }}</ref>

During the 1960s, the PGA Championship was played the week after [[The Open Championship]] five times, making it virtually impossible for players to compete in both majors. In [[1965 PGA Championship|1965]], the PGA was contested for the first time in August, and returned in [[1969 PGA Championship|1969]], save for a one-year move to late February in [[1971 PGA Championship|1971]], played in [[Florida]]. The [[2016 PGA Championship|2016]] event was moved to late July, two weeks after the [[2016 Open Championship|Open Championship]], to accommodate the [[Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Summer Olympics]] in August.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/2016-pga-championship-moving-july-accommodate-olympics |title=2016 PGA Championship moving to July to accommodate Olympics |website=Golf.com |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref>

Before the 2017 edition, it was announced that the PGA Championship would be moved to May on the weekend before [[Memorial Day]], beginning in 2019. The PGA Tour concurrently announced that it would move its [[The Players Championship|Players Championship]] back to March the same year; it had been moved from March to May in 2007. The PGA of America cited the addition of golf to the Summer Olympics, as well as cooler weather enabling a wider array of options for host courses, as reasoning for the change. It was also believed that the PGA Tour wished to re-align its season so that the [[FedEx Cup Playoffs]] would not have to compete with the start of [[American football|football]] season in late-August.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-pga-championship-is-moving-to-may-and-players-are-on-board|title=The PGA Championship is moving to May and players are on board |last=Shedloski |first=Dave |date=August 7, 2017 |magazine=Golf Digest |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/08/sports/golf/pga-championship-may.html |title=P.G.A.

===Location===
The PGA Championship has normally been played in the eastern half of the United States except eleven times, most recently in [[2020 PGA Championship|2020]] at [[TPC Harding Park]] in [[San Francisco]].<ref name=hp20gdgfsh>{{cite news |url=http://www.golfdigest.com/story/san-franciscos-harding-park-to |magazine=Golf Digest |title=San Francisco's Harding Park to host 2020 PGA Championship |last=Shackelford |first=Geoff |date=June 26, 2014 |access-date=April 11, 2016}}</ref> It was the first for the [[San Francisco Bay Area|Bay Area]], returning to California after [[1995 PGA Championship|a quarter century]].

The state of [[New York (state)|New York]] has hosted the championship thirteen times, followed by [[Ohio]] (11) and [[Pennsylvania]] (9).

===Promotion===
The tournament was previously promoted with the slogan "Glory's Last Shot". In 2013, the tagline was dropped in favor of "The Season's Final Major", as suggested by PGA Tour commissioner [[Tim Finchem]] while discussing the allowance of a one-week break in its schedule before the [[2014 Ryder Cup|Ryder Cup]]. Finchem had argued that the slogan was not appropriate as it weakened the stature of events that occur after it, such as the PGA Tour's [[FedEx Cup]] playoffs. PGA of America CEO Pete Bevacqua explained that they had also had discussions with CBS, adding that "it was three entities that all quickly came to the same conclusion that, you know what, there's just not much in that tag line and we don't feel it's doing much for the PGA Championship, so let's not stick with it. Let's think what else is out there."<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/pga-ditches-glorys-last-shot-tours-request/ |title=PGA ditches Glory's Last Shot at Tour's request |work=Golf Channel |first=Ryan |last=Lavner |date=August 7, 2013 |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.golf.com/scorecard/2013/08/07/pga-explains-new-slogan-and-why-oak-hill-green-speeds-are-mystery |title=PGA explains new slogan, and why Oak Hill green speeds are a mystery |website=Golf.com |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref> For a time, the tournament used the slogan "This is Major" as a replacement.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-pgas-decision-to-play-lift-clean-and-place-is-at-odds-with-its-own-logic |title=The PGA's decision to play lift, clean, and place is at odds with its own logic |last=Wacker |first=Brian |magazine=Golf Digest |date=July 31, 2016 |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2547959-meet-hiroshi-iwata-the-unknown-golfer-who-made-history-at-the-pga-championship |title=Meet Hiroshi Iwata, the Unknown Golfer Who Made History at the PGA Championship |last=Spander |first=Art |work=Bleacher Report |access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref>

==Trophy==
The Wanamaker Trophy, named after businessman and golfer [[Rodman Wanamaker]], stands nearly {{convert|2.5|ft|cm|round=5}} tall and weighs {{convert|27|lb}}. The trophy was lost, briefly, for a few years until it showed up in 1930 in the cellar of L.A. Young and Company. Ironically, this cellar was in the factory which made the clubs for the man responsible for losing it, [[Walter Hagen]]. Hagen claimed to have trusted a taxi driver with the precious cargo, but it never returned to his hotel. There is a smaller replica trophy that the champion gets to keep permanently, but the original must be returned for the following years tournament.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.liveabout.com/what-is-the-name-of-the-pga-championship-trophy-1564656 |title=The Wanamaker Trophy: Meet the PGA Championship's Prize |website=LiveAbout.com |first=Brent |last=Kelley |date=June 6, 2018}}</ref>

==Qualification==
The PGA Championship was established for the purpose of providing a high-profile tournament specifically for professional golfers at a time when they were generally not held in high esteem in a sport that was largely run by wealthy amateurs. This origin is still reflected in the entry system for the Championship. It is the only major that does not explicitly invite leading [[amateur]]s to compete (it is possible for amateurs to get into the field, although the only viable ways are by winning one of the other major championships, or winning a PGA Tour event while playing on a sponsor's exemption), and the only one that reserves so many places, 20 of 156, for club professionals. These slots are determined by the top finishers in the [[PGA Professional Championship]], which is held in late April.

Since December 1968, the [[PGA Tour]] has been independent of the [[PGA of America]].<ref name=spoktpd>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dbVWAAAAIBAJ&pg=7296%2C5214308 |newspaper=Spokesman-Review|agency=Associated Press|title=Tour golfers, PGA settle fuss over tourney control|date=December 14, 1968|page=15}}</ref><ref name=mjtpd>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VDIaAAAAIBAJ&pg=5430%2C2256320|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal|title=Pro golf struggle is settled; PGA forms tourney group|date=December 14, 1968|page=18}}{{Dead link|date=July 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name=dispus>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NX9AAAAAIBAJ&pg=6678,2714213|newspaper=Glasgow Herald|title=Dispute in U.S. settled|date=December 16, 1968|page=5}}</ref>

The PGA Tour is an elite organization of [[professional golf tours|tournament professionals]], but the PGA Championship is still run by the PGA of America, which is mainly a body for club and teaching professionals. The PGA Championship is the only major that does not explicitly grant entry to the top 50 players in the [[Official World Golf Ranking]], although special exemptions are commonly given to players in the top 100 (not just top 50) of the ranking who are not already qualified.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bolton |first1=Rob |title=2023 Qualifiers for The Players and the majors |url=https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/golfbet/major-qualifiers |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=April 29, 2023}}</ref>
