The PGA Championship Returns to Kiawah Island: A Coastal Gem with a Rich Golfing History

In 2031, the PGA Championship will make a return to the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. This coastal course has made history twice, with two record-setting victories in the past. In 2021, Phil Mickelson became the oldest major champion at age 50 when he won the PGA Championship at Kiawah for his sixth major title. In 2012, Rory McIlroy set a PGA Championship record with an eight-shot victory at the Ocean Course, claiming his second major championship.

It has since become a popular and challenging destination for golfers of all skill levels.

The return of the PGA Championship in 2031 is sure to bring excitement and world-class golf back to this iconic venue. With its picturesque coastal setting and challenging layout, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island provides a unique and memorable experience for both players and fans alike.
