What is the history around the event?
1955 saw the inaugural Women’s PGA Championship, which took place at Orchard Ridge. The first edition of the tournament was a four day competition that saw three rounds of stroke play, with match play on Sunday to determine the final order.
Beverly Hanson, who had finished three shots clear in the stroke play section of the competition, defeated Louise Suggs 4&3 to win the first of her three major championships.
Since then, the tournament has been a four-round, stroke-play competition. Mickey Wright is the only four-time winner of the Women’s PGA Championship, with those victories coming in a six year run from 1958 to 1963.
