PGA Championship venues: Full list of courses from 1916 to present day

The PGA Championship is a long-standing top level men’s professional golf event, considered one of the four major championships. The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) organizes the tournament which is held annually every May and attracts the world’s top professional golfers and spans four days of intense competition.

The PGA (Professional Golfers Association) was established in February 1916 in New York City with the inaugural Championship held at the Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York, in October of the same year. Jim Barnes emerged as the victor and was awarded a diamond-studded gold medal donated by Rodman Wanamaker, a devoted supporter of the association and a wealthy department store owner. In addition, he received a cash prize of $500.

The PGA Championship has a rich history of being held in the eastern part of the United States, with only a handful of exceptions. Its most recent incarnation, held in 2020 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, was a triumphant return to California after a 25-year hiatus.

Interestingly, while the Mountain time zone has only hosted three editions, the Pacific time zone has hosted twice, with the 2020 championship being the most recent. The 103rd PGA Championship took place at the Ocean Course in South Carolina’s Kiawah Island Golf Resort, while the 104th was held at Southern Hills Country Club in Oklahoma. As for the states, New York has been the most frequent host with 13 championships, followed by Ohio with 11 and Pennsylvania with 9.

Brooks Koepka is the reigning champion winning by two shots at 2023′s tournament staged at the Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester (NJ).
