Bethpage State Park To Host 2033 PGA Championship and Expected to Host 2028 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
Oak Hill Country Club Will Host a Fifth PGA Championship in 2035
Governor Kathy Hochul and the PGA of America today announced that New York State plans to host three landmark professional golf championships over the next decade. Bethpage State Park’s famed Black Course in Farmingdale expects to welcome the 2028 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the 2033 PGA Championship, while Oak Hill Country Club outside Rochester will host the 2035 PGA Championship. The announcement comes as New York State prepares to host the 45th Ryder Cup next week at Bethpage State Park.
“New York State is further establishing its reputation as one of the best golf destinations in the world by welcoming the PGA of America for this marquee lineup of elite golf competition,” Governor Hochul said. “The announcement underscores the attraction of New York’s world-class venues and our ability to host major sporting events, which, in turn, boost local economies and highlight our great state. I will be particularly excited to welcome for the first time the top women golfers to Bethpage State Park and pleased our relationship with the PGA of America will continue for years to come. We look forward to welcoming so many elite golfers, spectators and television viewers of these world-class competitions taking place on a global stage right here in New York.”
PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., PGA Master Professional and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona) said, “The PGA of America is incredibly proud to be returning to New York and two world-class venues in Bethpage Black and Oak Hill Country Club. Bringing the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to Bethpage Black will be a significant milestone and reflects our commitment to staging this event at premier courses in major markets. The Black Course tested the strongest field in golf in 2019, delivering a memorable PGA Championship and promises to do so again in 2033. Oak Hill has long proven itself as a premier Major Championship venue, with the East Course presenting a stern challenge that consistently produces memorable moments. These three Championships will add to our Association’s extensive history in the state of New York, and we cannot wait to see the world’s best players compete on Long Island and in Rochester.”
The lineup represents the first time the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held at a public golf course when it comes to Bethpage Black in spring of 2028. The PGA Championship will return to Bethpage for the first time since 2019. State Parks and the PGA have fully agreed to terms related to the 2033 PGA Championship and are near final agreement concerning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Oak Hill Country Club will host the PGA Championship for a fifth time in 2035. Bethpage State Park will host 250,000 spectators for the Ryder Cup, where the top golfers from the United States take on those from Europe Sept. 26-28 on the Black Course.
