New PGA Championships in New York through 2035
A week before the start of the Ryder Cup in New York, the PGA of America has announced the venue for three of its most important championships in the state until the year 2035. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held at the Black Course at Bethpage Black in 2028, and the PGA Championship will return to Bethpage Black for the second time in 2033. The PGA of America also confirmed that the PGA Championship will return to Oak Hill, near Rochester, for the fifth time in 2035. The Ryder Cup will begin on September 26 at Bethpage Black, the renowned public course in Long Island. Bethpage Black already hosted the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2009. The Women’s PGA has been jointly organized by the PGA of America and the LPGA Tour since 2015, the year in which this important women’s tournament experienced a significant improvement. It replaced a regular LPGA event in the Rochester area, but had not returned to New York under the tournament structure since 2015 in Westchester.Since the collaboration of the PGA of America with the LPGA, the Women’s PGA has been played on eight courses that previously hosted majors, including Baltusrol in New Jersey, Olympia Fields south of Chicago, Hazeltine in Minnesota, and Congressional.Bringing the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to Bethpage Black is a significant milestone and reflects our commitment to hosting this event at premier courses in important markets.
Don Rea Jr., President of the PGA of America
Brooks Koepka won the last two PGA Championships held in New York, in 2019 at Bethpage Black and in 2023 at Oak Hill. The PGA Championship moved from August to May starting in 2019, and has managed to avoid cold weather at Bethpage Black in 2019 and Oak Hill in 2023, although there was a delay due to frost in the first round at Oak Hill. New York will also host the U.S. Open next year at Shinnecock Hills, and the Western Golf Association will bring the BMW Championship, a FedEx Cup playoffs event on the PGA Tour, to Liberty National in New Jersey in 2027. The PGA Tour stopped visiting the New York metropolitan area in 2021, after losing a title sponsor that had rotated the first postseason event between New York and Boston. The Ryder Cup, which expects large and boisterous crowds at Bethpage Black, was last held in New York at Oak Hill in 1995. Europe won, kicking off a streak in which it has conquered the Ryder Cup 10 of the last 14 times.Places matter. They elevate our athletes and amplify the moments that define our game.
Craig Kessler, LPGA Commissioner
