PGA Championship Returns to Kiawah Island in 2031, Bringing Back Exciting Golf History and Records

In 2031, the PGA Championship will be returning to Kiawah Island for the first time since 2012. The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, a challenging coastal course that has previously hosted the tournament twice, will once again play host to some of the world’s best golfers.

In 2012, Rory McIlroy set a PGA Championship record with an eight-shot victory at the Ocean Course, claiming his second major. He was joined by Phil Mickelson in 2021 who became the oldest major champion at age 50 when he won the PGA Championship at Kiawah for his sixth major. Their performances on this course have set new standards and added excitement to the upcoming event.

Kiawah Island first gained attention in the golf world when it hosted the Ryder Cup in 1991. The course’s challenging layout and stunning coastal vistas have made it a favorite among both players and fans alike. With its history of producing record-breaking performances, hosting another prestigious tournament like the PGA Championship is sure to bring even more excitement and anticipation to Kiawah Island in 2031.
