This golf quiz is about the PGA Championship, one of the four men's Majors. It is sometimes known as the USPGA or the US PGA Championship so as not to cause confusion with other tournaments with the same or similar name, such as the one hosted by Wentworth on the DP World Tour.

It is run by the PGA of America and used to be held as the final one of the season’s four Majors, in mid August. But it has now been moved earlier in the calendar to become the season’s second Major and is played in May.

Early in 1916 department store owner Rodman Wanamaker organised a meeting of leading golfers and other important golf industry figures to discuss the formation of a professional golfers’ association. As a result of this get together, the PGA of America was founded and, just seven months later, the organisation contested its inaugural ‘Championship’ at Siwanoy Country Club. Wanamaker stumped up the prize money and donated the trophies for that first tournament and suggested that the event should be similar to the British ‘News of the World’ tournament – a match play event. From 1916 until 1957, the USPGA Championship was played as match play; but now it is played as a 72-hole strokeplay event, as the other three Majors are.
