- PGA of America: Oak Hill East Course championship profile
- Oak Hill - East
The PGA official venue profile explicitly identifies the East Course and lists 1980, 2003 and 2013 before its fourth PGA Championship in 2023. This supplies the missing 1980 exact-course link. The separate West Course is excluded; later East restorations do not imply unchanged holes.
