Lo U.S. PGA Championship di golf è uno dei quattro tornei di golf definiti “Majors Championship” che rappresentano il massimo livello delle gare mondiali di questo sport. Lo U.S. PGA Championship si gioca ogni anno su percorsi differenti degli Stati Uniti fin dal 1916. Fino al 1957 la formula di gara è stata matchplay, dal 1958 la formula è strokeplay.
Secondo quanto riporta Wikipedia “è uno dei quattro tornei major del circuito ed è cronologicamente l’ultimo della stagione, giocandosi generalmente verso la metà di agosto (di regola quattro settimane dopo l’Open Championship o British Open). Per questa sua caratteristica l’U.S. PGA Championship viene talvolta soprannominato “L’ultima occasione per la gloria”. Fa ufficialmente parte sia del PGA Tour che dell’European Tour e del Japan Golf Tour”.
