PGA Championship Winning Scores Through The Years

Brooks Koepka walks the course on Sunday during the final round of the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive CC.

The second men’s Major of the year is fast approaching as 156 of the best players in the world descend upon Louisville, Kentucky for the 2024 PGA Championship.

Valhalla Golf Club will once again provide the setting – a decade on from when it last hosted this great tournament – for the last man standing to lift the famous Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday evening.

It’s something most of the greats of the game have done across the previous 105 editions of the event, which began as a matchplay tournament in 1916 before the format was changed to 72-hole strokeplay in 1958.

Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen share the record for most wins with five, while Phil Mickelson became the oldest Major champion in history when he beat Brooks Koepka in an epic duel at Kiawah Island in 2021.

Despite that loss, defending champion Koepka has his name on the Wanamaker Trophy three times and also holds the lowest 72-hole score (264 at Bellerive Country Club in 2018).

Ahead of what promises to be a superb 2024 showdown, let’s look back at the winning scores through the years.
