Pga Championship Tickets Information
Pga Championship
The PGA Championship (US PGA Championship outside of North America) is an annual golf tournament conducted by the Professional Golfers Association of America as part of the PGA Tour.
The PGA Championship is one of the four major championships in men's golf, and it is the golf season's final major, played in August (customarily the 4th weekend after the The Open Championship). It is an official money event on the PGA Tour the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour, with a reward of $6.8 million in 2006.
In line with the other majors, winning the PGA gives a golfer several rights which made his career much more secure. PGA champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (The Masters, U.S. Open and The Open Championship) for the next five years, and are excused from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years.
The Championship is currently staged by one of a small group of celebrated courses, each of which has also hosted several other leading events.
History
The first PGA Championship was held in 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York. The winner, Jim Barnes, received $500 (US). 2006 winner Tiger Woods received $1.224 million (US). The champion is also awarded the Wanamaker Trophy, donated by Rodman Wanamaker.
Initially a match play event, the tournament changed to stroke play in 1958. Network broadcasters, preferring a large group of well-known contenders on the final day, are sometimes charged of pressuring tournament organizers to make the format change.
Qualification
The PGA Championship was established for the purpose of providing a high profile tournament specifically for professional golfers at a time when they were generally not held in high esteem in a sport run by wealthy amateurs. This origin is still reflected in the entry system for the Championship. It is the only major which does not invite leading amateurs to compete, and the only one that reserves a large number of places, 20 out of 156, for club professionals.
The PGA Tour is now independent of the PGA of America, and it is an elite organization of tournament professionals, but the PGA Championship is still run by the PGA of America, which is mainly a body for club and teaching professionals. The PGA Championship is the only major that does not openly grant entry to the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Rankings, although it regularly invites all top-50 players who are not already qualified.
