New York: Host of 3 Golf Majors until 2035, Including the PGA

New York Prepares for Years of Elite Golf

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 venue for three of its most important championships through the year 2035 in the state. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held at the Black Course at Bethpage Black in 2028, while the PGA Championship will return to Bethpage Black in 2033, marking the second time this course has hosted the tournament. In addition, the PGA of America confirmed that the PGA Championship will return to Oak Hill, near Rochester, for the fifth time in 2035. The Ryder Cup will kick off on September 26 at Bethpage Black, a renowned public course on Long Island. Bethpage Black previously hosted the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2009. The Women’s PGA Championship has been jointly organized by the PGA of America and the LPGA Tour since 2015, the year in which the second oldest major in women’s golf underwent a significant improvement. This event replaced a regular LPGA event held in the Rochester area, but had not returned to New York with this structure since 2015 in Westchester.

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 Championship 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 near the nation’s capital.

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

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 frost delay 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, marking the beginning of a streak in which it has conquered the Ryder Cup in 10 of the last 14 times.
