Bethpage Black to host 2033 PGA Championship and 2028 Women's PGA Championship

Governor Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday that Bethpage Black will host the 2033 PGA Championship and the 2028 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, returning both men’s and women’s major championships to the Long Island public course.

The announcement came as Bethpage Black prepares to host next week’s Ryder Cup, which is scheduled to begin next Friday. The course, owned by the state and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, will stage one of golf’s signature team competitions before a new slate of majors in 2028 and 2033.

Bethpage Black first opened in 1936 and rose to international prominence after hosting the 2002 U.S. Open, won by Tiger Woods. The U.S. Open returned to the course in 2009. The layout has also been a site for PGA Tour events, including The Barclays in 2012 and 2016, and the 2019 PGA Championship, won by Brooks Koepka.

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley spoke at Bethpage Black on Aug. 18, 2025, as part of preparations for the international team competition. Tournament officials and state representatives have cited the course’s history of staging high-profile events and its status as a public venue when discussing future scheduling.

Officials did not immediately release detailed scheduling information, ticketing plans or economic projections tied to the 2028 and 2033 championships. The announcement situates Bethpage Black among a short list of American courses that have hosted multiple men’s and women’s majors and major international competitions.

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is one of five major championships in women’s professional golf; the PGA Championship is one of golf’s four men’s majors. Both events draw international fields and significant media attention, and their returns to Bethpage Black will extend the course’s modern hosting resume, which spans more than two decades of top-level competition.

Next week’s Ryder Cup will be the immediate test of Bethpage Black’s capacity to handle large-scale international play, with organizers, local authorities and the New York State Office of Parks involved in final preparations. Further announcements about the 2028 and 2033 events are expected as planning progresses and agreements with governing bodies are finalized.
