US PGA Championship Past Winners

2011 PGA Championship Winner

Keegan Bradley wins 2011 USPGA Championship. Bradley staged a remarkable rally over the closing holes to eventually see off fellow American Jason Duffner in a three-hole play-off. He is the first player to capture a major with a long putter, but also seven majors in a row have now been taken by first-time winners; a sequence never seen before in the history of the PGA majors.

2010 PGA Championship Winner

2010 PGA Championship leaderboard ended nicely for Martin Kaymer. Kaymer, taking the tournament in a playoff against Bubba Watson, gave an impressive finish to the tournament, and presented fans with the surprise winner we had been waiting all weekend to discover. It was the toughest game both for Kaymer and Bubba Watson as they meet in the playoff after Dustin Johnson got a 2-stroke penalty assessed on the final hole.

2009 PGA Championship Winner

In 2009, Yang did what had never been done, when he came from behind to snatch the 91st PGA Championship from the heretofore invincible Tiger Woods in a tense, thrilling finish at Hazeltine National. It was a jaw-dropping finale, thanks to Yang's scintillating hybrid shot to 10 feet on the 72nd green for the clinching birdie to win the final major of the PGA golf season.
