Emmet French, 4 and 3 ← 1921 1923 → Oakmont Location in the [United States](/source/United_States) Oakmont Location in [Pennsylvania](/source/Pennsylvania) The **1922 PGA Championship** was the fifth [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship), held August 14–18 at [Oakmont Country Club](/source/Oakmont_Country_Club) in [Oakmont, Pennsylvania](/source/Oakmont%2C_Pennsylvania), a suburb northeast of [Pittsburgh](/source/Pittsburgh). The [match play](/source/Match_play) field of 64 competitors qualified by sectional tournaments.[2] 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](/source/Gene_Sarazen) defeated [Emmet French](/source/Emmet_French), 4 and 3.[3] Sarazen, age 20, also won the [U.S. Open](/source/1922_U.S._Open_(golf)) a month earlier near [Chicago](/source/Chicago). [Defending champion](/source/1921_PGA_Championship) [Walter Hagen](/source/Walter_Hagen) did not enter this year due to exhibition engagements; the two champions met the [following year](/source/1923_PGA_Championship) in the finals, won by Sarazen. This was the first of thirteen major championships at Oakmont; three PGA Championships and ten [U.S. Opens](/source/U.S._Open_(golf)) through [2025](/source/2025_U.S._Open_(golf)). It has hosted the [U.S. Amateur](/source/U.S._Amateur) six times and the [U.S. Women's Open](/source/U.S._Women's_Open) twice. The PGA Championship returned in [1951](/source/1951_PGA_Championship) and [1978](/source/1978_PGA_Championship). Sarazen was the first of four players in history to win the [U.S. Open](/source/U.S._Open_(golf)) and the PGA Championship in the same calendar year. He was followed by [Ben Hogan](/source/Ben_Hogan) in [1948](/source/1948_PGA_Championship) and [Jack Nicklaus](/source/Jack_Nicklaus) in [1980](/source/1980_PGA_Championship). Through [2012](/source/2012_PGA_Championship), [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) is the last to win both, in [2000](/source/2000_PGA_Championship), part of his *[Tiger Slam](/source/Tiger_Slam)* of four consecutive majors. ## Course layout Main article: [Oakmont Country Club](/source/Oakmont_Country_Club) Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Out 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 In Total Yards 482 363 428 516 371 172 370 233 462 3,397 461 365 601 164 349 420 226 282 442 3,310 6,707 Par 5 4 4 5 4 3 4 3 5 37 5 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 5 37 74 Source:[4] ## Format The [match play](/source/Match_play) format at the PGA Championship in 1922 called for 10 rounds (180 holes) in five days.
