The PGA Championship faced suggestions it is lacking an identity in the build-up to the 2026 tournament at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania.
One proposal to strengthen the Major’s identity is to return it to its original slot in August, when its tagline was Glory’s Last Shot.
Another is to restore it to its original iteration as a match play event, while for some, there is only one answer: discard the idea that it needs to stay in the US and take it to other territories around the world.
That’s something PGA of America CEO Terry Clark pushed back on in his press conference before the 2026 tournament, saying: “I don’t see that being a real focus as far as right now.”
Even if taking the PGA Championship global were at the top of his to-do list, it would stay right where it is for at least the next nine years, with the US venues up to and including the 2035 edition already confirmed.
Two of the upcoming venues will make their PGA Championship debuts, while others have hosted it multiple times, and some in recent years.
Here are the details of all the confirmed venues for the PGA Tour in the next nine years.

Following the Aronimink Golf Club event, the PGA Championship heads south to Texas and the new headquarters of the PGA of America.
PGA Frisco has two championship courses, the Gil Hanse-designed Fields Ranch East and Fields Ranch West, which was designed by Beau Welling.
The tournament will be held at the first of those courses, which was also the venue for the 2023 Senior PGA Championship and the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Opened in 2023, Fields Ranch East incorporates the existing Panther Creek as well as the area’s gently rolling hills. There are also large bunkers as well as elevated greens and steep run-off areas.
The PGA Championship returns to the venue in 2034.
