The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island: Where History Meets Majors

The PGA Championship is returning to the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in 2031, a coastal course that has a rich history in the golf world. In 2021, Phil Mickelson made history by becoming the oldest major champion at age 50 when he won the PGA Championship at Kiawah for his sixth major. Rory McIlroy also set a record with an eight-shot victory at the Ocean Course in 2012, claiming his second major. Only eight other courses have hosted the PGA Championships three times or more.

The course’s challenging layout and stunning coastal vistas have made it a favorite among both players and fans alike. With the PGA Championship returning to Kiawah Island in 2031, there is sure to be excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.
