It’s PGA Championship week and professional golf’s second major of 2025 will once again feature a loaded field in pursuit of the Wannamaker Trophy.
First-round action begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, which also played host to the 2017 PGA Championship won by Justin Thomas. He was there earlier this week with most of the living PGA Championship winners from the past when defending champion Xander Schauffele hosted the event’s annual champions’ dinner.
The first PGA Championship was contested in 1916 and the tournament has been taking place every year since with pauses only for World War I and World War II. The winners list is a who’s who from the sport’s history, with legends of the game like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods and unlikely champions like John Daly and Shaun Micheel.
Here’s a look at every previous PGA Championship winner ahead of the 2025 event:
