Southern Hills Country Club, designed by Perry Maxwell and opened in 1936, will make it an even six-pack of PGA Championships, the PGA of America announced on Tuesday.
The course in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will host the 2032 PGA Championship, making it the first venue to host the event six times.
'We could not be more excited to return to Southern Hills Country Club for the 114th PGA Championship in May 2032,' said PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., PGA Master Professional and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). 'Southern Hills and its incredible members as well as the entire Tulsa community have always welcomed the PGA of America, our PGA Members and our Major Championships with authentic, neighborly hospitality. We look forward to bringing the PGA Championship back to not only a first class community, but a world renowned golf course that will challenge the world's best golfers as they compete for the iconic Wanamaker Trophy.'
The course was 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 five past PGA Championships (1970, '82, '94, '07, '22) and three U.S. Opens ('58, '77 and '01).
In 2022, with help from Mito Pereira's heartbreaking debacle on the 72nd hole, Justin Thomas hoisted the 2-foot tall, 27-pound silver Wanamaker Trophy for a second time after defeating Will Zalatoris in a three-hole aggregate playoff.
The layout is No. 1 among private courses in Oklahoma in Golfweek's Best rankings, and it is No. 38 on Golfweek's Best list of classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S.
