The PGA Championship winners list dates to 1916. The golf major is now played in the US in May every year. It used to take place in August before the Fedex Playoffs planted themselves in that timeframe. Since 1958, the tournament has been a traditional, four round, stroke play event. Prior to that it was played in match format. We have the list of PGA Championship winners for you below. The champion is awarded the Wanamaker Trophy every year (named after NY department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker).
Who has Won the Most PGA Championships?
SInce the PGA Championship started being played, two players have won the event five times. Walter Hagen won it in the match play era in 1921, 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1927. That was a pretty dominant scratch. Jack Nicklaus won in the stroke play era in 1963, 1971, 1973, 1975, and 1980. More recently, Tiger Woods has won the PGA Championship four times. He’s the only professional golfer to win the tournament back-to-back twice in the stroke play era. He accomplished this in 1999 and 2000 and then in 2006 and 2007.
How is the List of PGA Championship Winners Setup?
We’ve set the list of PGA Championship winners up for you to checkout the year you are interested in fairly quickly. I always hate reading really really long lists online, so I’ve spit this up by groups of approximately 20 winners. Then, you’ll see the year, the person who won, the golf course, score by round, and the final score to par for the player. For match play, we just have the final score for those years.
