The 2018 PGA Championship was the 100th PGA Championship, held August 9–12 at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri, a suburb west of St. Louis. This was the second PGA Championship (1992) and third major (1965 U.S. Open) held at Bellerive. It was also scheduled to be the last held in the month of August (although the 2020 tournament would later be moved to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Just before the 2017 tournament, the PGA announced that the Championship would move to May in 2019.[1][2]

Brooks Koepka won his third career major title, finishing two strokes ahead of runner-up Tiger Woods.[3] Koepka's 72-hole total of 264 set a PGA Championship record.[4]
