- 1916 PGA Championship · Championship identity
  The official Media Guide directly enumerates the inaugural playing, champion, site, and its year-page date span. The recorded venue and champion preserve the official PGA Championship History entry’s published text. The champion-only winner field is intentionally separate from the official match-play result: 1 up over Jock Hutchison.
