What the competition is
The official championship site identifies the edition, host venue and tournament programme. Players associated with different professional circuits can qualify for a major under the event’s eligibility arrangements; a circuit logo alone does not establish entry. The host course changes, so past championship footage and a future venue announcement describe different editions.
Following the competition
Keep the year, venue and round with a saved entry. A tee-time list provides starting groups, while the cumulative leaderboard shows their tournament position as rounds progress. For Australia, preserve the host venue’s local date and zone before conversion. A programme labelled PGA without the full event name is too broad to establish which tournament or round is intended.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Organiser | PGA of America. |
| PGA Tour | A separate circuit identity. |
| Venue | Check the particular championship edition. |
| Round | Distinguishes the current day’s play from the full event. |
