The **1999 PGA Championship** was the 81st [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship), held August 12–15 at the [Medinah Country Club](/source/Medinah_Country_Club) in [Medinah, Illinois](/source/Medinah%2C_Illinois), a suburb northwest of [Chicago](/source/Chicago). [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods), 23, won his first PGA Championship and second [major](/source/Men's_major_golf_championships), one stroke ahead of runner-up [Sergio García](/source/Sergio_Garc%C3%ADa), age 19.[2]

At the time, many (including noted commentator [Gary McCord](/source/Gary_McCord)) predicted the start of a long rivalry between Woods and García.[2] The teenage García's outgoing antics during the tournament had captured the attention of many golf fans, but his sole major title came over seventeen years later at the [Masters](/source/Masters_Tournament) in [2017](/source/2017_Masters_Tournament). [Mike Weir](/source/Mike_Weir), the co-leader with Woods after 54 holes, shot 80 in the final round and tied for tenth.[2]

Although this was the first PGA Championship at Medinah, it was the fourth major; the [U.S. Open](/source/U.S._Open_(golf)) was held at Course No. 3 in [1949](/source/1949_U.S._Open_(golf)), [1975](/source/1975_U.S._Open_(golf)), and [1990](/source/1990_U.S._Open_(golf)). The PGA Championship returned seven years later in [2006](/source/2006_PGA_Championship), also won by Woods, and Medinah hosted the [Ryder Cup](/source/Ryder_Cup) in [2012](/source/2012_Ryder_Cup).
