PGA Championship
Encyclopedia
The PGA Championship is an annual golf
tournament conducted by the PGA of America as part of the PGA Tour
. It is one of the four major championships
in men's professional golf, and is the golf season's final major, usually played in mid-August, customarily four weeks after The Open Championship
. (It was advanced a week in 2007
and 2008
because of local scheduling conflicts.) Due to its distinction as the season's final major, the PGA Championship is nicknamed "Glory's Last Shot". It is an official money event on the PGA Tour
, the European Tour
, and the Japan Golf Tour
, with a purse of $8 million in 2011. The 2011
edition is the 93rd PGA Championship.
In line with the other majors, winning "The PGA" gives a golfer several privileges which make his career much more secure, if he is not already one of the elite players of the sport. PGA champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (Masters, U.S. Open
, and the Open Championship) for the next five years, and are exempt from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life. They also receive membership on the PGA and European Tours for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship
for five years. The PGA Championship has been held at a large number of venues, some of the early ones now quite obscure, but currently it is usually staged by one of a small group of celebrated courses, each of which has also hosted several other leading events.
golfers were organized. One was held at Newport Country Club
in Rhode Island
, and the other at St. Andrew's Golf Club in New York State. In addition, St. Andrew's conducted an Open championship for professional
golfers at the same time as the amateur event. None of these championships were officially sanctioned by any governing body for American golf, and this caused considerable controversy among players and organizers. The controversy led to the formation of the United States Golf Association
later in 1894; the USGA became the first formal golf organization in the country. After this, golf quickly became a sport of national popularity and importance.
In February 1916 the Professional Golfers Association of America was established in New York City
. One month earlier, the wealthy department store owner Rodman Wanamaker
hosted a luncheon at the Wykagyl Country Club
in New Rochelle
. This gathering of Wanamaker with the leading golf professionals of the day prepared the agenda for the formal organization of the PGA. The new organization's first president was Robert White, one of Wykagyl's best-known golf professionals of the time. Golf historians have dubbed Wykagyl "The Cradle of the PGA".
The first PGA Championship was held later in 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club in Eastchester
, New York
. The winner, Jim Barnes, received $500 and a diamond-studded gold medal donated by Rodman Wanamaker
. The 2011
winner, Keegan Bradley
, earned $1.445 million. The champion is also awarded a replica of the Wanamaker Trophy, which was also donated by Wanamaker, to keep for one year, and a smaller-sized keeper replica Wanamaker Trophy.
Initially a match play
event, the tournament was changed to stroke play
in 1958. Network television
broadcasters, preferring a large group of well-known contenders on the final day, pressured tournament organizers to make the format change.
In 1971, the PGA was played in February in Florida
, and was the first major of the calendar year for the only time in its existence. Until the 1960s, the tournament was often played in late July, the week following The Open Championship
, making it virtually impossible for players to compete in both majors. In 1965, the PGA was contested in August, and that move was made permanent in 1969, save for the one-year move to February in 1971.
The PGA Championship is primarily played in the eastern half of the United States, only ten times has it ventured west. The last championship played in the Mountain Time Zone
was in 1985
and the last in the Pacific
was 1998
at Sahalee
near Seattle; no western venues are currently scheduled through 2018, which will be the 100th PGA Championship.
s to compete (it is possible for amateurs to get into the field, although the only viable way is by winning one of the other major championships), and the only one which reserves a large number of places, 20 of 156, for club professionals. These slots are determined by the top finishers in the
club pro championship
, which is held in June.
Since 1968, the PGA Tour
has been independent of the PGA of America. The PGA Tour is an elite organization of 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 it invariably invites all of the top 100 (not just top 50) players who are not already qualified.
