A brief history of the PGA Championship

Before we answer the question of when is the 2022 PGA Championship, allow us to give you a brief insight into the history of the tournament.

Originally a match play event, the first PGA Championship took place in 1916 at Siwanoy, New York. The first winner, Cornishman Jim Barnes, took home $500 and a donated diamond-studded gold medal. A little different from today’s collective earnings of $10.5 million and giant Wanamaker trophy.

In 1958 the tournament switched to a stroke play event after pressure from network broadcasters for a more recognisable 72-hole, four-day format.

Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen have won the most PGA Championships, with five apiece, while Tiger Woods has four.

Did you know…

The oldest player to win the Championship is Phil Mickleson, who in 2021 at the ripe old age of 50 triumphed on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.
