This is the last chance for the top players to gain the glory on the very biggest stage. U.S. PGA Championship is staged at a different venue allowing the general public the opportunity to get to see the greats of Golf, and it also ensures that players are faced with a different challenge each year.
Proudly positioned as the last of four major men's golf tournaments, the US PGA Championship was established in 1916 and has been host to great play and fabulous finishes since its debut.
A lot has changed with this tournament since Jim Barnes collected $500.00 for winning the inaugural PGA Championship to now, when Tiger Woods collected a $1.224 million dollar purse in 2006. Each champion has also taken home the Wanamaker Trophy for besting the field.
Winning the PGA Championship earns the golfer lifetime-qualifying status for the tournament. The winner will also receive invitations to the 3 remaining major tournaments for the following 5 years. The winner will not have to qualify to make the PGA Tour for 5 years and will receive 5 years worth of invitations to The Players Championship.
In other words, the winner virtually secures his future on the Tour for another half a decade or more, which means there are quite a few guys on Sunday gunning for the Wanamaker Trophy and all that it secures. Who will win the 2018 US PGA Championship and secure his place at the 2018 tournament?

2012 PGA Championship Winner
Rory McIlroy wins 2012 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. McIlroy was at 12 under when he walked toward the 18th green with a seven-shot lead, then he rolled in a 25-foot birdie, surpassing the PGA Championship record for margin of victory that Jack Nicklaus set in 1980.
2011 PGA Championship Winner
Keegan Bradley birdied the 16th and then made a 40-footer for another at the 160-yard, 17th. In the group behind world number 80 Dufner also went in the water at the 259-yard 15th and, after doing well to escape with a bogey there, he failed to get up and down from sand on the next and then three-putted the penultimate hole.
2010 PGA Championship Winner
The German golfer Martin Kaymer wins the 2010 PGA Championship, making him the second German to win a major championship, after Bernhard Langer. Kaymer has won the Championship in a three-hole playoff that did not include Dustin Johnson, who was penalized two strokes for grounding his club in a bunker on the last hole.

In 2009, Yang did what had never been done, when he came from behind to snatch the 91st PGA Championship from the heretofore invincible Tiger Woods in a tense, thrilling finish at Hazeltine National. It was a jaw-dropping finale, thanks to Yang's scintillating hybrid shot to 10 feet on the 72nd green for the clinching birdie to win the final major of the PGA golf season.
The 90th US PGA Championship was a historical event which saw the first European in 78 years to win the illustrious golf tournament. Padraig Harrington of Ireland won the event by two shots, defeating Sergio Garcia and Ben Curtis on the way. The last us PGA Champion to win at Hazeltine was Rich Beem who beat off a charging Tiger Woods in 2002. |
