Champion

Julius Boros(-1)

Runner-up: Bob Charles

Julius Boros, at age 48, became the oldest major champion in history at the time, winning the PGA Championship by one shot over Bob Charles and Arnold Palmer. Boros's relaxed, unhurried swing belied his competitive intensity. His record as oldest major champion stood until Phil Mickelson broke it in 2021.
