Bethpage Black to be site of 2028 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and 2033 PGA Championship; Oak Hill Country Club to stage 2035 PGA Championship

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (September 17, 2025) – The PGA of America announced today that New York State will host three upcoming Major Championships.

Bethpage Black in Farmingdale will be the site of the 2028 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the 2033 PGA Championship while the 2035 PGA Championship will be contested at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester.

Bethpage Black, site of the 2025 Ryder Cup taking place Sept. 23-28, will host its first KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June 2028. It will be the eighth time the event is contested in New York state, and the first since 2015 (Westchester Country Club, Harrison). Currently ranked #38 among Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Courses and #34 on Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses in the U.S., the Black Course will be the highest ranked golf course to host the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship since KPMG took over as title sponsor in 2015.

Bethpage Black hosted its first PGA Championship in 2019, while the Championship has been played at Oak Hill four times (1980, ‘03, ‘13, ‘23). The 2033 and 2035 editions will be the 15th and 16th conducted in New York, the most of any state.

“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,” said PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., PGA Master Professional and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “Bringing the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to Bethpage Black is 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.”

“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,” New York Governor Kathy 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’m 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.”

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is a collaboration between the PGA of America, KPMG and the LPGA. Broadcast in partnership with NBC, the 156-player field is annually one of the strongest in women’s golf.

“KPMG is committed to excellence, and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship continues to set the standard for excellence in women’s golf through advanced tech, a purse among the highest in women’s golf, extensive broadcast coverage, and world-class caliber courses,” said Tim Walsh, KPMG U.S. Chair and CEO. “We focus on staging this championship for the best players on the LPGA Tour on the most iconic courses in major markets like New York. Storied Bethpage Black is an incredible addition to our list of future venues.”

The 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East at PGA Friscooffered a record $12 million dollar purse, tied for the highest in the women’s game. With Bethpage Black hosting the 2025 Ryder Cup, each of the next three KPMG Women’s PGA Championship venues are past or future Ryder Cup host sites: The 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held June 25-28 at Hazeltine National Golf Club (2016, 2029 Ryder Cups; 2002, ‘09 PGA Championships) in Chaska, Minnesota; and Congressional Country Club (2037 Ryder Cup; 2030 PGA Championship) in Bethesda, Maryland, will host its second KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2027.

“Venues matter. They elevate our athletes and amplify the moments that define our game,” said Craig Kessler, LPGA Commissioner. “Bethpage Black is one of the most iconic tests in golf, and bringing the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship here for the first time will showcase our players against the backdrop of a venue with extraordinary history and energy. For fans and athletes alike, the championship will be a special opportunity to see the best women in the world compete on one of the game’s greatest stages.”

The 2019 PGA Championship saw 29-year-old Brooks Koepka outlast runner-up Dustin Johnson to claim his second-consecutive Wanamaker Trophy. Koepka shot 63-65-70-74 to finish 8-under and win by two. Koepka joined Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship since it changed to stroke play in 1958. He was also just the fifth wire-to-wire PGA Champion and first since Hal Sutton in 1983 at Riviera Country Club.

Located in suburban Long Island in close proximity to New York City, Bethpage is a mecca for public golf featuring five 18-hole regulation golf courses, including the highly regarded Black Course. Bethpage Black was designed by famed golden-age architect A.W. Tillinghast and first opened for play in the spring of 1936. Rees Jones led the renovation of the Black Course in 1997-98. Bethpage Black also hosted the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Opens.

Oak Hill will host its fifth PGA Championship in 2035, trailing only Southern Hills Country Club (which will host its sixth in 2032) for the most in history. Oak Hill’s championship legacy also includes the 1995 Ryder Cup, two Senior PGA Championships (2008, ‘19), three U.S. Opens (1956, ‘68, ‘89) and the U.S. Senior Open (1984).

“We are extremely grateful for our partnership with the PGA of America, and we are excited to bring the 2035 PGA Championship back to Oak Hill Country Club,” said Ron Billitier, Oak Hill Country Club President. “The East Course, our membership, and the Greater Rochester community welcome the opportunity to test the World’s best golfers in an iconic and world-class setting here at Oak Hill. Having recently hosted our fourth PGA Championship on the restored East Course, we’re confident our fifth will set a new standard and honor a worthy champion. I’d also like to thank Governor Kathy Hochul for her leadership and commitment to supporting major championship golf in our great state.”

Koepka again made history in 2023 when he won the 105th PGA Championship by two shots and captured his third Wanamaker Trophy, joining Jack Nicklaus and Woods as the only players to win three or more PGA Championships in the stroke play era. Koepka finished at 9-under for the week following a final-round 67. Nicklaus (1980), Shaun Micheel (2003) and Jason Dufner (2013) also claimed titles at Oak Hill.

Oak Hill’s East Course, designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, opened in 1926. Andrew Green restored the course in 2019, attempting to bring it back as closely as possible to its original design.
