Champion

Sam Snead(Match Play)

Runner-up: Jim Turnesa

Sam Snead won the PGA Championship, defeating Jim Turnesa 2&1 in the 36-hole final. Snead's powerful game and clutch putting were on full display. This was the last PGA Championship before WWII, and Snead's victory was one of his most satisfying given his past near-misses in major championships.
