History

Historical Context

Laurel Valley Golf Club, co-founded by Arnold Palmer in 1959, first entered major-tournament history when it hosted the 1965 PGA Championship, won by Dave Marr. The venue later staged the 1975 Ryder Cup, cementing Pennsylvania’s role in professional golf. The 2026 PGA at nearby Aronimink builds on that legacy, featuring elite players and CBS coverage.
