Golf This Week: May 11 – 17, 2026
The PGA Tour, European Tour, LPGA, Korn Ferry and PGA Tour Champions have events this week.
PGA TOUR: PGA Championship
The PGA TOUR plays the PGA Championship.
Judging from social media rants, a lot of folk are unclear on the relationship between the PGA TOUR and the PGA. They are separate organizations and have been since 1968. The PGA of America is the association for golf professionals who serve as club pros, instructors and the linke. The PGA TOUR is a sports league for playing professionals.
The PGA Championship is NOT owned by the PGA TOUR. Both the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup belong to the PGA of America.
Further, the PGA of America is just one of many Professional Golfers Associations around the world. There’s a PGA of Australia, for instance, and a PGA for the UK and Ireland.
So the PGA Championship is more properly the US PGA Championship.
Scottie Scheffler is the defending Champion. For a list of all PGA Championship winners, follow the link.
DP World Tour aka European Tour: PGA Championship
The European Tour is also at the PGA Championship.
The US PGA Championship is not the only PGA Championship. At various times on its schedule, the European / DP World Tour also plays the Australian PGA Championship and the BMW PGA Championship in England.
LPGA: Kroger Queen City Championship
The LPGA plays the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Charley Hull is the defending champion. For a list of all Kroger Queen City Championship winners, follow the link.
PGA TOUR Champions: Off
The PGA Tour Champions is off until May 21 – 23, when it plays the Trophy Hassan II at Royal Golf Dar es Salam in Rabat, Morocco.
I’ve played Royal Golf Dar es Salam. It’s a cool course, built through a cork forest.

The Korn Ferry Tour plays the Colonial Life Charity Classic at the Woodcreek Club in Elgin South Carolina. This is the debut year for the tournament.
