PGA Championship 2024

The Professional Golfers' Association of America holds the PGA Championship every year, also known as the US PGA Championship or US PGA outside of the United States. It is one of the four professional golf major championships for men. The 106th PGA Championship will take place in 2024 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky and will host the 72-hole stroke play competition from May 13 to 19.

It was once the fourth and last men's major of the golf season, taking place in mid-August on the third weekend before Labor Day. However, after 2019, the event became the second major of the year, with the Open Championship taking place last. The 2024 PGA Championship is won by Xander Schauffele with a score of 263, under 21, over Bryson DeChambeau by a margin of a single stroke. Schauffele took home $3.3 million from the purse of $18.5 million.

The PGA Championship History

The PGA Championship's history dates back to the late 19th century, in 1894, when two unofficial national championships for golfers were organized. The Newport Country Club in Rhode Island hosted one, while St. Andrew's Golf Club in New York hosted the other. Simultaneously, St. Andrew's hosted the Open Championship for professional golfers.

These events gained prestige and allure due to the fact that they were planned concurrently and golf fans had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see both amateur and professional golfers compete at the same time. The events were not approved by the then-governing body due to some dispute between golfers and organizers, which ultimately resulted in the founding of the United States Golf Association (USGA) in 1894.

The Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) was founded in New York City in February 1916. A month earlier, a luncheon with the then-top golfers was hosted by wealthy department store owner Rodman Wanamaker at the nearby Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle. Golf historians refer to Wykagyl as "The Cradle of the PGA" because the attendees set the agenda for the PGA's official formation.

In 1916, the inaugural PGA Championship took place at the Bronxville, New York, Siwanoy Country Club. Rodman Wanamaker donated a gold medal with diamonds and $500 to the winner, Jim Barnes. Furthermore, the initial PGA Championship events were in the match-play format till 1957, and after the PGA meeting of November that year, the event's format was changed to stroke-play in 1958.

After 100 years since its inception, in 2016, a small replica of the Wanamaker Trophy began to be given to the winner to keep for the year. In 2016, Jimmy Walker was the first recipient, with the winner's share of $1.8 million.
