This is the first time the event has been held at this venue, which is the headquarters for the PGA . . . convenient and profitable . . . every good thing.
First played in 1955, Beverly Hanson was the first champion and took home a tidy $1200 for her efforts. That was the first and only time this event has been contested as match play.
This is a PGA Championship and is for Professionals only . . . except in 2005, when the rules were changed to allow Michelle Wie to play as an amateur. There was quite the controversy and a lot of complaints from the rest of the field . . . which pretty much went away when Michelle finished second alone, three strokes behind Annika. After Michelle turned pro they rescinded the exception . . . Money !
FUN FACT: This is one of five Majors on the LPGA Tour. It is not recognized as a Major by the Ladies European Tour . . . which does not recognize any of the three Majors played in the U.S.
