PGA Championship
Runner-up: Billy Casper
Dow Finsterwald won the first PGA Championship contested under stroke play format, shooting 276 (-2) to win by two shots over Billy Casper. Finsterwald had been the runner-up in the final match play PGA the previous year, and his stroke play title was fitting redemption. The switch to stroke play opened the championship to all professionals.
