Record sources
- 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide
- 1922 PGA Championship · Championship identity
The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 5th 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: 4&3 over Emmet French.

The retained National Historic Landmark nomination identifies the physical Oakmont course and lists its 1922, 1951 and 1978 PGA Championships on PDF pages 11-12. Course alterations and the 1978 playoff are described. This establishes continuing physical identity, not unchanged individual holes.
