- 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 14th 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 Denny Shute.
- PGA Championship host record The 1931 PGA record names Wannamoisett. The host Club is verified; the exact course and routing used for this edition have not been confirmed.
