New York: Bethpage Black and Oak Hill, venues for 3 Golf Majors until 2035

Major Golf Events Return to New York

Just one week before the Ryder Cup arrives in New York for the first time in three decades, the PGA of America has announced the holding of three more major championships in the state, extending until the year 2035.

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be played at the Black Course at Bethpage Black in 2028, while the PGA Championship will return to Bethpage Black for the second time in 2033. In addition, the PGA Championship will return to Oak Hill, near Rochester, for the fifth time in 2035, according to the PGA of America. The Ryder Cup will kick off on September 26 at Bethpage Black, a highly prestigious public course on Long Island. Bethpage Black previously 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 golf event experienced a significant improvement. This event replaced a regular LPGA event that was held in the Rochester area.

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

Since the collaboration of the PGA of America with the LPGA, the Women’s PGA has been held on eight courses that previously hosted majors, including Baltusrol in New Jersey, Olympia Fields south of Chicago, Hazeltine in Minnesota, and Congressional, near the capital.

Places matter. They elevate our athletes and amplify the moments that define our game.

Craig Kessler, LPGA Commissioner

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, managing to avoid the cold weather at Bethpage Black in 2019 and at 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 main 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 period in which it has conquered the Ryder Cup on 10 of the last 14 occasions.
