• 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide
  • 1942 PGA Championship · Championship identity

    The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 25th 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: 2&1 over Jim Turnesa.

  • Seaview Resort & Spa

    The 1942 PGA record names Seaview Country Club. The canonical Club name and state match the dated PGA host record. The historical Seaview tournament routing requires reconciliation against the current Bay and Pines records.
