PGA Championship
The PGA Championship is one of the four major championships on the PGA Tour - and is the last of the season. PGA Champions gain an automatic invite to the other three majors for the next five years. PGA Championship winners are also exempt from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life.
From 1916-1957, the winner was determined by match play. Ever since 1958 the PGA Championship has been determined by the best score after four rounds. The PGA Championship has been won five times by Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus.
Y.E. Yang was the most recent winner in 2009.
