History of the PGA

The Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) was formed in February 1916 in New York City. The first PGA Championship was held in October of the same year at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York. 

Since then, the PGA Championship has evolved into one of the biggest golf tournaments in the sport.

What Is the PGA Championship?

The PGA Championship is one of the four biggest golf tournaments in the world. Other so-called majors include the Masters, the US Open, and the Open Championship.  
 
As of 1958, the PGA Championship became a stroke play event. It is played in a standard 72-hole format: 18 holes daily for four days, Thursday through Sunday. 

Since 2019, the PGA Championship has been held in May, after moving from its original August berth. It is now the second major of the golf season after the Masters at Augusta National.

Qualification for the PGA Championship is based on merit rather than open entry. The field includes recent major winners, PGA Tour winners, top-ranked players, and club professionals who qualify through PGA of America events.

When & Where is the Next PGA Championship?

The 2026 PGA Championship is scheduled between 11 and 17 May. It will be played at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania, USA.  It’s only the second time the PGA has been played at this course, the first time was in 1962, when the legendary Gary Player won his first PGA title.

Types of Golf Betting Markets 

Let's look at common PGA betting markets

  • Outright Winner: Here, you pick a golfer to win the PGA Championship. 
  • Each-Way Betting: Each-way is a wager on a golfer to finish in the top five. 
  • Top Nationality Betting: This is a bet on which golfer from a particular country will finish the highest in the tournament. 
  • Head-to-Head Matchups: Here, you bet which of two golfers will have the lowest score at the end of the tournament. 
  • Group Betting: This type of bet involves wagering on which golfer from a particular group of competitors will score best in the PGA Championship. 
  • Prop Bets: These are bets based on specific events during the tournament, such as the number of birdies a golfer will have in a round or the total number of hole-in-ones. 
  • 3-Ball Betting: A popular form of live betting, 3-ball enables you to wager on which of the three golfers grouped will have the best score in a particular round. 

USPGA Betting Tips

Here are some essential US PGA betting tips to consider when betting on this major tournament:  

  • Player Form: Consider the recent performance of the golfers in the tournament. Strong recent finishes signal confidence and sharpness, helping you back players more likely to contend rather than relying purely on reputation. 
  • Course Fit: Analyse the course and how it suits the golfers. Some golfers excel on long courses, tight fairways, or fast greens, so matching skill sets to layouts improves the accuracy of winner and placement bets. 
  • Weather Conditions: Research the weather and the time of day the golfers will be playing. Wind, rain, and draw bias can heavily influence scoring, giving you an edge when backing players with favourable tee times or weather resilience. 
  • Historical Data: Look at the past performance of golfers on this course or similar tracks if the PGA is being played at an unfamiliar location. Consistent results at the same venue often indicate comfort and confidence, reducing uncertainty when betting on repeat strong performances. 
  • World Ranking: A golfer's overall world ranking is essential in determining their overall ability. Higher-ranked players are generally more consistent, making them safer picks for outright, each-way, or top-10 betting markets. 
  • Betting Value: Seek out inefficient odds to find value. Profitable betting comes from backing players priced higher than their true chances, not simply choosing the most likely winner.
