PGA Championship Future Venues

Founded in 1896, Aronimink has hosted a number of significant golf events during its storied history, including the 1962 PGA Championship (won by Gary Player), the 1977 U.S. Amateur (John Fought), the 2003 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship (John Jacobs), and the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (Sei Young Kim). Aronimink is the first venue to stage each of the PGA of America’s three rotating major championships (PGA Championship, KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, KPMG Women’s PGA Championship).

Aronimink’s golf course was designed by Donald Ross in 1926. During the Club’s Centennial Year in 1996, a plaque was unveiled behind the first tee, sharing a 1948 quote from Ross pertaining to his work at Aronimink: "I intended to make this my masterpiece, but not until today did I realize that I built better than I knew.”

In December 2018, the announcement was made to move the PGA of America headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to Frisco, Texas. In addition to the headquarters and the two championship courses, the facility will also include a short course and practice areas. Gil Hanse designed the East Course, while Beau Welling led the design for the West Course. 

These championship courses will be the anchors of PGA Frisco, which will offer the best coaching, player development and education for PGA Golf Professionals, as well as play on both recreational and championship courses, alongside a magnificent Omni resort and interactive consumer golf experience.

The Olympic Club's Lake Course, designed by Willie Watson and built by club superintendent Sam Whiting, opened in 1924. After winter weather damage, Whiting redesigned the course in 1927. Its roster of champions includes Jack Fleck (18-hole playoff victory over Ben Hogan in 1955), Billy Casper (18-hole playoff over Arnold Palmer in ’66), Scott Simpson (1987), Lee Janzen (1998) and Webb Simpson (2012).

This will be the first time the PGA of America will stage any of its pillar events at The Olympic Club, which sports a rich championship heritage having hosted 10+ USGA events, including five U.S. Opens, on its famed Lake Course.

Founded in 1895, Baltusrol has played a prominent role on the national golf stage for nearly 125 years. The 2029 PGA Championship will be staged on Baltusrol’s famed Lower Course, which is an A.W. Tillinghast design. Since opening in 1922, the Lower Course has hosted 10 major golf events, including seven professional major championships. This will be Baltusrol’s third PGA Championship: Phil Mickelson and Jimmy Walker notched memorable one-shot victories on the Lower Course in 2005 and 2016, respectively.  

In 2014, Baltusrol Golf Club was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, one of only four golf properties to earn this distinction.

Founded in 1924 by the likes of U.S. Presidents Coolidge, Harding, Hoover, Taft, and Wilson, Congressional was originally established to provide an informal common ground where politicians and peers could meet. Its international recognition has also been achieved in the world of golf.

The Club’s championship Blue Course has already hosted three U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship. Extensively renovated by Andrew Green in 2020-21, the Blue Course looks forward to hosting eight upcoming PGA of America events, including two National Championships, 5 Major Championships and the 2037 Ryder Cup.

The Ocean Course consistently ranks among the top public courses in the United States and is one of the most challenging in the world. Designed by Alice and Pete Dye to host the 1991 Ryder Cup “War on the Shore.” The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort flows naturally through windswept dunes along the coast of the South Carolina Lowcountry with adapted characteristics of famed links-style tracks of Scotland and Ireland to the subtropical climate of the Lowcountry. The Ocean Course hosted the PGA Championship in August 2012 with Rory McIlroy winning by a record eight strokes. The championship returned to the course in May 2021, and was won by Phil Mickelson, who became the oldest major champion in history at the age of 50.

A venerable stalwart of hosting major championships, Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will once again take the world stage when it’s the site of the PGA Championship for the sixth time in 2032.

Designed by Perry Maxwell and opened in 1936, the legendary Babe Zaharias won the U.S. Women’s Amateur there a decade later and the list of stars who have won at Southern Hills has only grown since then. It hosted the PGA Championship for the first time in 1970 (won by Dave Stockton), and has returned in 1982 (Raymond Floyd), 1994 (Nick Price), 2007 (Tiger Woods) and 2022 (Justin Thomas). It was the site of the U.S. Open in 1958 (Tommy Bolt), 1977 (Hubert Green) and 2001 (Retief Goosen). Alex Čejka won the Senior PGA Championship when it was held there in 2021.

A historic restoration by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner was completed in 2019 to re-capture Maxwell’s original vision for the iconic layout.

Already the site of several unforgettable moments in recent golf history, all eyes will be on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park once again when it hosts the PGA Championship for the second time in 2033.

No stranger to challenging all comers, from weekend warriors to the world’s best, Bethpage Black, often referred to as “The People’s Country Club,” is known as one of the sternest tests in the game, and one of public golf’s finest gems, with cars lining up well before dawn to try and secure a tee time on the venerable track, which was designed by park superintendent Joseph Burbeck and legendary architect A.W. Tillinghast.

Bethpage Black most recently hosted the 2025 Ryder Cup, won by Europe, and previously was the site of the 2019 PGA Championship, won by Brooks Koepka. It also hosted U.S. Opens in 2002 (Tiger Woods) and 2009 (Lucas Glover), as well as The Barclays PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoff event in 2012 (Nick Watney) and 2016 (Patrick Reed). It is also slated to host the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship for the first time in 2028.

In December 2018, the announcement was made to move the PGA of America headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to Frisco, Texas. In addition to the headquarters and the two championship courses, the facility will also include a short course and practice areas. Gil Hanse designed the East Course, while Beau Welling led the design for the West Course. 

These championship courses will be the anchors of PGA Frisco, which will offer the best coaching, player development and education for PGA Golf Professionals, as well as play on both recreational and championship courses, alongside a magnificent Omni resort and interactive consumer golf experience.

The world’s best players will return to Rochester, N.Y., when the PGA Championship is held for the fifth time at Oak Hill Country Club in 2035. The Donald Ross layout, which will have hosted the championship more than any other venue accept for one (Southern Hills will host for a sixth time in 2032), has been the site of many of golf’s memorable moments across the last 70 years, most recently in 2023, when Brooks Koepka captured his third PGA Championship title and PGA professional Michael Block captivated the golf world with his unforgettable performance.

Previously, Oak Hill hosted the PGA Championship in 1980 (won by Jack Nicklaus), 2003 (Shaun Micheel), and 2013 (Jason Dufner), as well as U.S. Opens in 1956 (Carry Middlecoff), 1968 (Lee Trevino), and 1989 (Curtis Strange). It was also the site of the 1995 Ryder Cup, won by Europe. Additionally, Jay Haas (2008) and Ken Tanigawa (2019) captured Senior PGA Championship titles at the iconic venue.
