The PGA Championship is the second men’s Major of the season. It takes place in May, each year on a different course in the United States. Of the four Majors, it is the only one exclusively reserved for professionals. The top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking headline a 156-strong field competing to claim the Wanamaker Trophy.
Named after one of the founders of the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA of America), the Wanamaker Trophy has been awarded to the winner every year since the tournament was founded in 1916. Our partnership with the PGA Championship began in 1995.
With almost 29,000 professionals, the PGA of America is one of the world’s largest sports bodies. It works constantly to increase interest and participation in golf, and is committed to developing and teaching the game. The organization’s scope includes staging events for junior players as well as its professional members. The PGA of America holds three annual Major championships: the PGA Championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.
