One of the four major professional golf competitions, the PGA Championship is held every year by the Professional Golfers' Association of America. Due to its high level of competition, prestige, and influence on the careers of those who win, it draws the top golfers from all over the world.

Legendary players have used the championship since its beginning in 1916 as a defining platform, giving them the opportunity to solidify their legacy in golf. On this page, you will discover the unique venues that host it.

The PGA Championship is notable for its revolving locations, which feature some of the most recognizable and difficult golf courses in the country.  In contrast to competitions that stay in one place, the PGA Championship rotates annually, enabling various courses to offer their own challenges of strategy and technique.  

Every location offers a unique personality and set of difficulties, from classic locations like Oak Hill Country Club and Baltusrol Golf Club to contemporary championship designs like Kiawah Island and Whistling Straits.  

In addition to keeping the competition interesting, this cycle showcases America's unique golfing terrain, giving both players and spectators access to a wide variety of top-notch courses.

Tournament Schedule Changes

The 2016 tournament was scheduled earlier than usual to avoid conflict with the Olympic golf tournament in Brazil. This demonstrates the PGA Championship's flexibility in adapting to the global golf calendar.

The 2022 event was originally scheduled to be played at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, but was moved to Southern Hills following the storming of the US Capitol earlier that year, showing how external factors can influence venue selection.
