| PGA Championship: Information from Answers.com (0 words) |
 | The PGA Championship is one of the four major championships in men's golf, and it is the golf season's final major, being played in August (customarily the 4th weekend after the The Open Championship, but being advanced a week in 2007 and 2008 because of local scheduling conflicts). |
 | The Championship has been held at a large number of venues, some of the early ones now quite obscure, but nowadays it is usually staged by one of a small group of celebrated courses, each of which has also hosted several other leading events. |
 | The PGA Championship was established for the purpose of providing a high profile tournament specifically for professional golfers at a time when they were generally not held in high esteem in a sport that was largely run by wealthy amateurs. |
