The 2024 PGA Championship will be the 106th edition of the second major event of the year, after the most recent Masters Tournament. The event, which is 108 years old, is often played on different courses each year, with repetitions in an unpredictable manner; however, the 2024 PGA Championship will be held at the Valhalla Golf Course for the fourth time (1996, 2000, 2014).
The 72-hole stroke-play event has a clear distinction from other majors in that it is a strictly professional event with no exemption or entry for amateurs, with a field of 156 players, which will be reduced to the lowest 70 scores and ties following the first 36 holes of play.
