PGA Championship Winners

Published on

The PGA Championship.
It's one of four Major Championships each year on the men's professional golf calendar, alongside the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship. There's been a PGA Championship every year since 1916, minus 1917, 1918 and 1919 due to World World I and 1943 due to World War II.
The PGA Championship was contested in match play format from 1916-1957, and moved to stroke play format in 1958 at Llarnerch Country Club in Pennsylvania. The Wanamaker Trophy, named after New York department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker, is awarded to the Champion each year.
Below is a list of every PGA Champion since 1916 to present day, with host venue, winning score and total included.
