PGA Championship winners by year: Complete list of champions, history since 1916..
The Inaugural US PGA Championship Golf tournament was in 1916 and the first winner of US PGA is Jim Barnes (ENG), making it the third-oldest of the professional men's majors.
This is the only one of the four majors, include the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship (British Open).
In its early years, this major was match play, but in the 1950s, it switched to stroke play.
The Wanamaker has been presented since the PGA Championship began in 1916, although the original did disappear for a few years after five-time champion Walter Hagen said he paid his taxi driver to take the 28-inch, 27-pound trophy back to his hotel. It never arrived.
Schauffele won the 2024 championship in Kentucky and will defend his title at Quail Hollow, located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Schauffele shot a 65 after he birdied on the last hole of the final round, just one shot ahead of Bryson DeChambeau to win his first major title. Schauffele’s 21-under-par performance broke a major championship scoring record.
