The PGA Championship will be making a return to the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in 2031. This coastal course has been the site of two record-setting victories in the past. Phil Mickelson made history in 2021 by becoming 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.

Kiawah Island is one of only eight other courses that have hosted the PGA Championship three times or more. The course first gained recognition in the golf world when the United States narrowly defeated Europe in the 1991 Ryder Cup. It has since become a popular and challenging destination for golfers of all skill levels.

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. The return of the PGA Championship in 2031 is sure to bring excitement and world-class golf back to this iconic venue.
