The PGA Championship is one of four golf majors held every year since 1916.
It has visited North Carolina only a few times, including most recently in 2017 when Justin Thomas won at Quail Hollow to claim his first career major.
It will return to Quail Hollow in 2025, where Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Viktor Hovland will likely be the golf betting favorites.

1974- Tanglewood Park, Lee Trevino
Trevino claimed his first PGA Championship in 1974. He finished at 4-under, which was good for a one-shot win over Jack Nicklaus. It was the first of two PGA Championships for Trevino and was the fifth of Trevino’s six major titles. Nicklaus was the runner-up to Trevino in a major for the fourth and final time.
1936- Pinehurst No. 2, Denny Shute
Pinehurst No. 2 hosted its first and only PGA Championship this year, and Denny Shute was the winner. Back then, the event was match play, and Shute defeated Jimmy Thomson 3 and 2 in the final match. Shute won the tournament the following year as well.
