A chainsaw. A bag of ice. A man who started a major to sell dresses. These are 14 things about the PGA Championship that sound completely made up — but every single one of them is real. From Walter Hagen handing the Wanamaker Trophy to a Chicago cab driver in 1925, to the fake trophy the PGA quietly used in 1928, to Craig Stadler returning to Torrey Pines with a chainsaw, to the apartheid protest that arguably cost Gary Player a major, to Scottie Scheffler in handcuffs two hours before his tee time at Valhalla — this is the deep-cut history of golf's strangest major championship. 00:00 - Cold Hook 00:13 - Walter Hagen Hands The Wanamaker Trophy To A Taxi Driver 00:45 - The Fake Wanamaker Trophy The PGA Used In 1928 01:05 - The Original Trophy Found In A Detroit Basement 01:10 - Craig Stadler Cuts Down The Tree That Disqualified Him 01:31 - Protesters Storm The Green At The 1969 PGA Championship 01:48 - The Man Who Started The PGA Championship To Sell Dresses 02:08 - The Actual Visionary Behind The PGA Nobody Remembers 02:19 - The First PGA Champion Got A Medal Instead Of The Trophy 02:45 - Michael Block's Hole-In-One With Rory McIlroy 03:30 - Whistling Straits Has Over 1,000 Bunkers 04:23 - The PGA Championship Has Been Played In Nine Different Months 04:41 - The 74-Year Australian PGA Championship Drought 05:04 - How Television Forced The PGA To Abandon Match Play 05:50 - Arnold Palmer's Heartbreaking PGA Championship Record Subscribe to Golf News Network for more deep-dive PGA history, player profiles, and equipment breakdowns. 🔔 ➡ Which one did you not know?

In twelve months the sport produced the shark's last stand, two of the most infamous collapses in major history, the greatest comeback the Ryder Cup has ever seen, the arrival of the man who would run golf for a decade — and then lost one of its most decent champions. At the Masters, José María Olazábal, who a few years earlier couldn't walk, held off one final Sunday charge from Greg Norman. At Pinehurst, Payne Stewart drained a 15-footer on the 72nd hole to win the U.S. Open, then grabbed Phil Mickelson's face and told him being a father mattered more than any trophy. At Carnoustie, Jean Van de Velde stood in the burn in his bare feet and threw away the Open Championship, while Paul Lawrie came from ten shots back to win it. At Medinah, a 19-year-old Sergio García closed his eyes, hooked a 6-iron around a tree, and chased Tiger Woods to his second major. And at Brookline, the United States stormed back from 10–6 in the most chaotic Ryder Cup ever played. Then, in October, a Learjet carrying the reigning U.S. Open champion flew on autopilot across America with no one conscious on board. Payne Stewart was 42. This is the full story of the 1999 golf season — the majors, the meltdowns, the Ryder Cup, and the loss that changed the sport.

In a sport full of polite poker faces, Tyrrell Hatton shows you exactly what he's feeling — every drop of it. The passion, the frustration, the honesty. He cares more visibly than anyone in the game, and that's exactly why the fans adore him. He even sat down for the DP World Tour's "Angry Golfers" session — "Hi, I'm Tyrrell, and I'm an angry golfer" — and turned his own reputation into a joke. That's the thing about Hatton: he keeps it real, on and off the course.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/at6-7Yyn0BM462026-07-12T12:00:15-07:00 https://www.golfnetworknews.com/watch/i-watched-100-hours-of-pga-history-and-found-things-nobody-tells-you/2026-11-06https://www.golfnetworknews.com/watch/assets/thumbs/SWmpTWL_OjE-640.webpI Watched 100 Hours Of PGA History And Found Things Nobody Tells YouA trophy that went missing for five years.

Father's Day, June 20, 2021. Rahm birdied the final two holes — 17 and 18 — to win his first major by one stroke. Two weeks earlier he'd withdrawn from the Memorial with a 6-shot lead after a positive COVID test. He said he was a believer in karma. Then he did this.

At Pebble Beach he won the U.S. Open by 15 strokes, the largest margin in the history of major championship golf, breaking a record Old Tom Morris had held since 1862. He never three-putted a green all week and played the final 26 holes without a bogey. And that was just one of nine wins in a season so statistically absurd that a quarter-century later, people still can't fully explain it: three majors, the lowest scoring average in PGA Tour history, a top-two finish 65% of the time he teed it up, and nearly double the earnings of the second-best player alive, Phil Mickelson. He did it with a golf ball almost nobody knew existed. Nike, building a golf division around him, had secretly developed a solid-core ball with a Japanese engineer named Rock Ishii. Tiger put it in play in Germany in May — his launch angle jumped from 8 degrees to 12, with more distance and no loss of greenside spin — and by June the season was over. The full story is here: Hal Sutton out-dueling him at the Players ("be the right club today"), Vijay Singh taking the one major Tiger didn't win, the career Grand Slam completed at St. Andrews at age 24 — the youngest ever — without hitting a single bunker all week, and the Bob May duel at Valhalla that made Tiger the first man since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three majors in a calendar year.

Ball sitting down, no green to work with, a bunker or a hazard in the way… and Phil floats it straight up in the air and lands it soft as a feather. Set to a piano cover that turns Beethoven into Dr. Dre, here's a symphony of Phil doing what only Phil can do. 🎹https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ebtBKcYsFUc422026-07-26T07:00:03-07:00 https://www.golfnetworknews.com/watch/the-untold-story-behind-augusta-national/2026-11-06https://www.golfnetworknews.com/watch/assets/thumbs/EtSPxLYVBi0-640.webpThe Untold Story Behind Augusta NationalHow Augusta National was built is one of the wildest stories in golf history. Before the Masters became golf’s most famous tournament, Augusta National was a Depression-era gamble built on abandoned nursery land, funded by investors, designed by Alister MacKenzie, and driven by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. This video tells the full story of how Augusta National and the Masters Tournament came to life — from MacKenzie’s final days and Jones’ shocking retirement to the first tournament in 1934.

No single tournament defined it. Instead, 1998 set the framework every season since has been played inside. A 41-year-old with no majors on his résumé, Mark O'Meara, suddenly won two. A 20-year-old rookie named Se Ri Pak took off her shoes, waded into a water hazard on live television, and changed women's golf across three continents. A 17-year-old amateur named Justin Rose holed a 45-yard chip on the final hole at Royal Birkdale — and turned pro the next day. And the USGA drew the equipment line, the 0.822 COR limit on the "spring-like effect" of titanium drivers, that every Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping and Titleist has been built beneath for 27 years. Meanwhile, Casey Martin beat the PGA Tour in federal court for the right to ride a cart. This is the full story of the 1998 golf season — the majors, the money, the rule changes, and the careers that launched (and stalled) that year.
