TULSA, Okla. – Southern Hills Country Club, site of this week’s PGA Championship for a fifth time, was designed by Perry Maxwell and opened in 1936.
The course has been renovated multiple times by the likes of Robert Trent Jones and Keith Foster, and in 2019 Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner wrapped up work on a restoration that put much of Maxwell’s original intent back into the layout.
Southern Hills has been host to a slew of championships ranging from the U.S. Women’s Open to the Senior PGA Championship and counts among its men’s majors four past PGA Championships (1970, ’82, ’94 and ’07) and three U.S. Opens (’58, ’77 and ’01).
