All the winners of the PGA Championship from 1916 to 2024

The PGA Championship was first played in 1916 and was a match-play event for the first 42 years of its existence. It’s been played every year except when it paused for 1917, 1918 and 1919 for World World I and 1943 due to World War II.

In 1958 it changed to stroke play with Dow Finsterwald the first winner after the format changed.

Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen are tied for the most PGA wins with five. Nicklaus won all of his in the stroke play format, while Hagen’s five wins all came during match play. No one ever won it in both formats.
