Here’s a complete list of all of the winners of the PGA Championship. 

The 2017 PGA Championship will be the 101st year of the famous golf tournament. With some exceptions during the two World Wars, the major has been held each year. This year is the 98th time the tournament has been held.

It will be held at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. While die-hard golf fans will be familiar with the course, as it has hosted several events over the years, this will be the first major it has hosted.

The record holder for most wins during match play (1958 to present) is Jack Nicklaus with five. Walter Hagen holds the stroke play (1916 to 1957) record, also with five titles. The defending champion is Jimmy Walker. There are two multiple time winners in the field, Rory McIlroy and Vijay Singh, each with two. Overall, there are 13 past champions participating in 2017.
