History

Historical Context

In August 1999 the PGA Championship moved to Medinah Country Club for the first time, the venue’s fourth major after U.S. Opens in 1949, 1975 and 1990. Twenty-three-year-old Tiger Woods captured his first PGA title, edging 19-year-old Sergio García by one stroke; the event offered a $3.5 million purse with a $630,000 winner’s share.
