The **1994 PGA Championship** was the 76th [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship), held August 11–14 at [Southern Hills Country Club](/source/Southern_Hills_Country_Club) in [Tulsa, Oklahoma](/source/Tulsa%2C_Oklahoma). [Nick Price](/source/Nick_Price) led wire-to-wire (he shared the first round lead and then led on his own after every other round) and won his third and final [major](/source/Men's_major_golf_championships) title, six strokes ahead of runner-up [Corey Pavin](/source/Corey_Pavin).[2] It was Price's second consecutive major and second PGA Championship in three years.[3] Following this win, he moved to the top of the [Official World Golf Ranking](/source/Official_World_Golf_Ranking).[4]

Price became the first to win the [Open Championship](/source/The_Open_Championship) and PGA Championship in the same year in seven decades, last by [Walter Hagen](/source/Walter_Hagen) in [1924](/source/1924_PGA_Championship). [Greg Norman](/source/Greg_Norman) had just missed the [previous year](/source/1993_PGA_Championship), losing in a playoff; it was later accomplished by [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) in [2000](/source/2000_PGA_Championship) and [2006](/source/2006_PGA_Championship), [Pádraig Harrington](/source/P%C3%A1draig_Harrington) in [2008](/source/2008_PGA_Championship), and [Rory McIlroy](/source/Rory_McIlroy) in [2014](/source/2014_Open_Championship).

Price's 269 was a record for the event, passing the 271 of [Bobby Nichols](/source/Bobby_Nichols) set thirty years earlier in [1964](/source/1964_PGA_Championship).[5] It lasted just a year, lowered to 267 in [1995](/source/1995_PGA_Championship) at [Riviera](/source/Riviera_Country_Club) by [Steve Elkington](/source/Steve_Elkington) and [Colin Montgomerie](/source/Colin_Montgomerie).[6] (It was further lowered in [2001](/source/2001_PGA_Championship) by [David Toms](/source/David_Toms)' 265.)

Price's 6-stroke win was the largest margin of victory at a major championship between Jack Nicklaus' 7-stroke victory at the [1980 PGA Championship](/source/1980_PGA_Championship) and Tiger Woods' 12-stroke victory at the [1997 Masters Tournament](/source/1997_Masters_Tournament). Price later described it as the best he'd ever played.[7]

This was the fifth major held at Southern Hills; it previously hosted the PGA Championship in [1970](/source/1970_PGA_Championship) and [1982](/source/1982_PGA_Championship) and the [U.S. Open](/source/U.S._Open_(golf)) in [1958](/source/1958_U.S._Open_(golf)) and [1977](/source/1977_U.S._Open_(golf)). It later hosted the U.S. Open in [2001](/source/2001_U.S._Open_(golf)) and the PGA Championship in [2007](/source/2007_PGA_Championship) and [2022](/source/2022_PGA_Championship).
