1971 PGA Championship

Feb. 28, 1971 – PGA National (Champion), Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

The victory completed the second Grand Slam of Nicklaus’ career. The 1971 PGA is also reminder that 2019 was not the first time the PGA Championship was moved from August to earlier in the year. This time, it was moved to February to avoid the heat, hurricanes and humidity of Florida in August. Playing near his Florida home, Nicklaus was in command throughout all four rounds, led wire-to-wire and won by two shots at 7-under.
