Charlotte (AFP) – Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was named host of the 2032 PGA Championship on Tuesday by the PGA of America, making it the first course to host six times. Southern Hills most recently hosted the PGA Championship in 2022, when American Justin Thomas captured his second major crown. The PGA Championship was also staged there in 2007, 1994, 1982, and 1970, and the course hosted US Opens in 2001, 1977, and 1958.
“We could not be more excited to return to Southern Hills Country Club for the 114th PGA Championship in May 2032,” PGA of America president Don Rea said. Tiger Woods won the 2007 title at Southern Hills, capturing his fourth Wanamaker Trophy, while Zimbabwe’s Nick Price won the 1994 PGA, Ray Floyd took the 1982 crown, and Dave Stockton was triumphant in 1970.
