- 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 37th 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: 4&3 over Cary Middlecoff.
