2026 PGA Championship Media Guide
- 1957 PGA Championship · Championship identity
  The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 39th playing, champion, site, and July 17-21 dates. The champion-only winner field is intentionally separate from the official result: 2&1 over Dow Finsterwald. The structured History result, match-play article, Guide table (“2 and 1”), and described 35th-hole finish converge on 2&1; the Guide/History narrative’s separate “3 and 1” sentence is defective.

- Miami Valley Golf Club
  The 1957 PGA record names Miami Valley. The canonical Club name and state match the dated PGA host record. The host Club is source-supported. A dated physical Course identity and routing bridge is still required. Dated PGA host authority: https://www.pgachampionship.com/news-media/articles/pga-championship-winners-venues
