2026 PGA Championship Media Guide
- 1948 PGA Championship · Championship identity
  The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 30th 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: 7&6 over Mike Turnesa. The Guide’s table and narrative identify Mike Turnesa; the structured History Winning Margin incorrectly names Jim Turnesa.
