The 2022 PGA Championship is set to get going Thursday at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Phil Mickelson will not look to repeat as champion after he pulled out recently with fellow legendary golfer Tiger Woods making his second appearance on the green this season after a mixed bag at the 2022 Masters.
What is the PGA Championship?
- It is one of four major men’s championships on the PGA slate.
- Prior to 2019, it served as the fourth of the majors on Labor Day weekend. That changed in 2019 when the PGA moved it to the week before Memorial Day.
- The first Championship was held in October 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York.
- Jim Barnes won the first PGA championship in 1916. After a two-year hiatus due to World War 1, Barnes again hoisted the trophy in 1919.
- The great Walter Hagen won five PGA Championship events over a seven-year span from 1921-27.
- Hagan earned his trophies when the Championship was match play. Once it went to stroke play, Jack Nicklaus matched him with five wins.
What channel is the PGA Championship on?
ESPN will provide a majority of the coverage before CBS takes over in the afternoon come Saturday and Sunday. It’s nearly identical to the coverage of the last major this season, the 2022 Masters. The two stations previously handed off coverage on a per-day basis.

Will Tiger Woods tee off in 2022 PGA Championship?
The short-form answer to this is yes. After suffering a horrific automobile accident back in February of of 2021, the four-time PGA Championship winner made his return to the PGA in the Masters. He’s now feeling much stronger.
“I’ve gotten a lot stronger since the Masters. We went back to work on Tuesday (after the Masters). Monday was awful. I did nothing and Tuesday was leg day. So, we went right back after it.
We started ramping up a week or so ago, played a little bit more golf, and it was good. Everything is better.”
Tiger Woods on PGA Championship
While he remains a long shot to win, Woods would join Hagen and Nicklaus as the only five-time winners in the PGA Championship if he were to come out on top.
