Alongside The Open, The Masters and the US Open, the PGA Championship remains one of four major pillars in the professional golfing calendar.
Since 1916, the event has been held at a myriad of courses right across America, with a champion crowned after four days of sterling golf.
Yet, since 1958, the winner has been found via stroke play rather than match play.
From the litany of local champions to those from further afield, here is the full list of PGA Championship winners since the beginning of the stroke play era.
