En esta sección queremos hacer un seguimiento especial al torneo y sus noticias. El Campeonato PGA (PGA Championship) de Golf.
El PGA, es el último de los majors, los cuatro torneos masculinos de golf más importantes.
Se disputa normalmente, salvo problemas de calendario,cuatro semanas después del British Open, durante el mes de agosto.
El ganador del PGA Championship es invitado automáticamente a jugar los otros tres majors (el Masters de Augusta, el US Open y el Abierto Británico de golf) durante cinco años, y no tendrá que jugar la fase de calificación para la PGA de por vida. Además se incorpora al PGA Tour en los cinco años siguientes y es invitado automáticamente a jugar el torneo «The Players» también durante los cinco años posteriores.
A lo largo de su historia, el torneo de la PGA se ha celebrado en diversos campos de todo el territorio de los Estados Unidos.
