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.
