IN MAY OF 2021, THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO THE OCEAN COURSE AT KIAWAH ISLAND GOLF RESORT WHERE A NEW CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED THE WANAMAKER TROPHY At the culmination of the 103rd PGA Championship, the winner will hoist one of the most recognized trophies in all of sport ... the 27-pound Wanamaker Trophy. HISTORY OF THE TROPHY New York City department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker, who was instrumental in coordinating a 1916 luncheon that evolved into the founding of The PGA of America, offered to provide the new association with cash prizes and a trophy for the inaugural PGA Championship. Wanamaker’s generosity resulted in $2,500 in prize money for the first PGA Championship, conducted as match play at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y., Oct. 10 – 14, 1916. Additionally, a silver cup and gold medal were presented to the winner, as well as a silver medal for the runner-up, and bronze medals for the winners of the qualifying rounds. Throughout the history of the PGA Championship, the Wanamaker Trophy has been held by some of the greatest players to have ever played the game: Walter Hagen – 5 Time PGA Champion Lee Trevino – 2 Time PGA Champion Jack Nicklaus – 5 Time PGA Champion Vijay Singh – 2 Time PGA Champion Tiger Woods – 4 Time PGA Champion Rory McIlroy – 2 Time PGA Champion Gene Sarazen – 3 Time PGA Champion Brooks Koepka – 2 Time PGA Champion Sam Snead – 3 Time PGA Champion Davis Love III – 1997 PGA Champion Ben Hogan – 2 Time PGA Champion Phil Mickelson – 2005 PGA Champion Byron Nelson – 2 Time PGA Champion Jason Day – 2015 PGA Champion Gary Player – 2 Time PGA Champion Justin Thomas – 2017 PGA Champion FOR MORE DETAILS, VISIT ATTEND.THEPGA.COM/2021 .
