📝 About PGA Championship 2026
Organized by the Professional Golfers' Association of America since 1916, the PGA Championship is the only major that restricts its field primarily to professional golfers, distinguishing it from the amateur-inclusive US Open and The Open. The tournament rotates among premier American courses and was played as match play until 1958 before switching to the stroke-play format used today. It moved from its traditional August slot to May in 2019, becoming the second major of the season. Walter Hagen's five titles in the 1920s and Jack Nicklaus's five victories make them the most successful players in the championship's history, while Tiger Woods's dramatic 1999 and 2000 wins helped elevate the event's profile.
