Origins and identity

The Championship began in 1916 as match play and changed to 72-hole stroke play in 1958. Its history follows the development of organized professional golf rather than one fixed competition format, and its place in today’s men’s major canon should not erase that evolution.

How the field is selected

The PGA publishes edition-specific eligibility categories rather than offering open entry.

Those routes include past championship records, recent performance in designated events and standings, and leading finishers from the PGA Professional Championship; the PGA of America may also invite additional players.

The Championship is decided by 72-hole stroke play.

Why it mattersThe full essay

The championship

The PGA Championship is the PGA of America’s men’s professional major, usually held in May. Players compete over 72 holes of stroke play at changing U.S. venues for the Wanamaker Trophy.

Origins and identity

Competitive character

The PGA of America describes this as a major for professionals and by professionals. Its field makes that institutional link visible by bringing touring professionals and qualifiers from the PGA Professional Championship into the same competition, while the Wanamaker Trophy connects the Championship’s stroke-play identity to its match-play beginning.

Qualifying and format

The PGA publishes edition-specific eligibility categories rather than offering open entry. Those routes include past championship records, recent performance in designated events and standings, and leading finishers from the PGA Professional Championship; the PGA of America may also invite additional players. The Championship is decided by 72-hole stroke play.

Places

The host course changes, and the Championship’s register records a long succession of American venues. That movement changes the architecture and conditions presented to the field; the continuing elements are the PGA of America’s professional mission and the Wanamaker Trophy.
