Pga To Bring Ryder Cup, Other Top Events To Congressional

The PGA of America is bringing its biggest championships to Congressional over the next two decades. Nearly three months after the PGA Tour ended another run outside golf-rich Washington, the PGA of America announced an agreement for the club to host the Women's PGA Championship twice, the Senior PGA Championship twice, the PGA Championship (2031) and the Ryder Cup (2036). Congressional also will host the Junior PGA Championship and the Professional National Championship, along with an annual event designed to introduce golf to veterans. "We are excited to bring major championship golf back to Congressional and to represent our country and the nation's capital as host of the 2036 Ryder Cup," said Bev Lane, the club president. Congressional, across the Potomac River in Bethesda, Maryland, previously hosted the 1976 PGA Championship won by Dave Stockton, whose 1-over 281 remains the last time no one broke par at the PGA Championship. The club received greater notice when it hosted the 1964 U.S.
