Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1983 PGA
Championship was the 65th PGA Championship held from August 4-7 at the
Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, California. Hal Sutton won his
first major championship by one stroke over Jack Nicklaus. The PGA
Championship (sometimes referred to as the U.S. PGA Championship outside
of the United States) is an annual golf tournament conducted by the PGA
of America as part of the PGA Tour. It is one of the four major
championships in men’s professional golf, and is the golf season’s final
major, usually played in mid-August, customarily four weeks after The
Open Championship. (It was advanced a week in 2007 and 2008 because of
local scheduling conflicts.) Due to its distinction as the season’s
final major, the PGA Championship is nicknamed „Glory’s Last Shot“. It
is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the
Japan Golf Tour, with a purse of $7.5 million in 2008. The 2011 edition
will be the 93rd PGA Championship.
