The [[match play]] field of 64 competitors qualified by sectional tournaments.<ref name=pga/> This was the first PGA Championship with a field of 64 in the bracket; the previous four had fields of 32 players. In the Friday final, [[Gene Sarazen]] defeated [[Emmet French]], 4 and 3.<ref name=F/>
Sarazen, age 20, also won the [[1922 U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]] a month earlier near [[Chicago]]. [[1921 PGA Championship|Defending champion]] [[Walter Hagen]] did not enter this year due to exhibition engagements; the two champions met the [[1923 PGA Championship|following year]] in the finals, won by Sarazen.
This was the first of thirteen major championships at Oakmont; three PGA Championships and ten [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Opens]] through [[2025 U.S. Open (golf)|2025]]. It has hosted the [[U.S. Amateur]] six times and the [[U.S. Women's Open]] twice. The PGA Championship returned in [[1951 PGA Championship|1951]] and [[1978 PGA Championship|1978]].
Sarazen was the first of four players in history to win the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]] and the PGA Championship in the same calendar year. He was followed by [[Ben Hogan]] in [[1948 PGA Championship|1948]] and [[Jack Nicklaus]] in [[1980 PGA Championship|1980]]. Through [[2012 PGA Championship|2012]], [[Tiger Woods]] is the last to win both, in [[2000 PGA Championship|2000]], part of his ''[[Tiger Slam]]'' of four consecutive majors.
