- 1923 PGA Championship · Championship identity
The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 6th 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 Walter Hagen (38 Holes).
