Bethpage Black Joins Trend of Hosting Top Men’s, Women’s Tournaments

Next week, Bethpage Black Golf Course in New York will host the Ryder Cup for the first time, and the venue will stay in the national spotlight after the U.S. vs. Europe team event ends.

In 2028, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held at Bethpage Black for the first time, and the men’s PGA Championship will return to the course in 2033, the PGA of America announced Wednesday. The move continues a growing trend of golf’s governing bodies playing more top women’s tournaments at the same courses as their male counterparts.

Bethpage hosted its first PGA Championship in 2019, after hosting the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2009. 

In June, the women’s PGA Championship was played at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Texas, a new course at the PGA of America’s headquarters that’s set to host the men’s major in 2027 and 2034, and the women’s again in 2031.

The other two future venues on the docket for the women’s PGA Championship are Hazeltine National Golf Club (2026), which most recently hosted the event in 2019 and the Ryder Cup in 2016, and Congressional Country Club (2027), which hosted the women’s PGA in 2022 and is hosting the men’s in 2030.

The shared venue strategy from the PGA of America is similar to the recent efforts of the USGA, which has been taking more U.S. Women’s Opens to courses that also host the men’s edition, like Oakmont and Pebble Beach.
