The **2016 PGA Championship** was the 98th [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship) which took place from July 28–31 at [Baltusrol Golf Club](/source/Baltusrol_Golf_Club) on the Lower Course in [Springfield Township, New Jersey](/source/Springfield_Township%2C_Union_County%2C_New_Jersey), west of [New York City](/source/New_York_City). This was the ninth [major](/source/Men's_major_golf_championships) and second PGA Championship at Baltusrol, which last hosted in [2005](/source/2005_PGA_Championship). [Jimmy Walker](/source/Jimmy_Walker_(golfer)) won his first major championship title with a score of 14 under par, one shot ahead of 2015 champion [Jason Day](/source/Jason_Day).

This edition of the PGA Championship was moved up two weeks from its early-August spot to accommodate the [2016 Olympic tournament](/source/Golf_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics) in Rio de Janeiro. The [John Deere Classic](/source/John_Deere_Classic) was moved back two weeks from its mid-July spot before the [Open Championship](/source/2016_Open_Championship) and is taking its place on the schedule for those not qualified for the Olympics.

### Third round

Play was suspended at 2:14 pm [EDT](/source/Eastern_Time_Zone) due to dangerous weather conditions. Only 37 players finished their third rounds, with the leaders yet to tee off. [Kevin Kisner](/source/Kevin_Kisner) was the overnight leader at the clubhouse at 5 under par.[11][12]

*Sunday, July 31, 2016*

Play was resumed at 7am EDT on Sunday. [Jimmy Walker](/source/Jimmy_Walker_(golfer)) went into the final round with a single shot lead over [Jason Day](/source/Jason_Day), and two shots ahead of [Brooks Koepka](/source/Brooks_Koepka) and [Henrik Stenson](/source/Henrik_Stenson).[13]

### Final round

*Sunday, July 31, 2016*

The third round pairings were kept for the final round, and the final pair of [Jimmy Walker](/source/Jimmy_Walker_(golfer)) and [Robert Streb](/source/Robert_Streb) teed off shortly after their scheduled time of 3:16 pm EDT. Walker made no bogeys (or worse) during the final round, with all pars on the front nine, then made two consecutive birdies, the first by holing out from the greenside bunker on the 10th hole. His third and final birdie came at 17 for a three-shot lead over defending champion [Jason Day](/source/Jason_Day), who quickly responded with an eagle on the 72nd hole, narrowing the margin to one shot.[14] Walker won wire-to-wire by making a 3-foot (0.91 m) par putt on the final hole to win by a stroke.[15][16] With Walker's win, it was the first time since 2011 that all four major golf championships were won by first-time winners.[8]

Due to course conditions, the fourth round was played with [preferred lies](/source/Glossary_of_golf#P), allowing players to "lift, clean and place" their balls on the fairways.[17] This is believed to be the first time the rule was invoked in a major championship.[15]
