14 PGA Championship Stories You've Never Heard
A lost trophy. 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 ā 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 ā this is the deep-cut history of golf's strangest major championship.
