Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon will host the 2026 PGA Professional Championship, a four-day, 72-hole event that will be contested on Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes from April 26–29.
Since 1968 the PGA Professional Championship has been the national championship for PGA of America golf professionals from across the country. The 312-player field consists of past champions, the top 20 players and ties from the previous year’s event as well as players qualifying through 41 PGA Section Championships.
“The PGA of America is proud to take the PGA Professional Championship to one of the elite golf destinations in North America,” said PGA of America President John Lindert. “The PGA Professional Championship presents an elevated platform to display the skills of our talented playing professionals. Both Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes will offer exceptional challenges for all competitors.”
The low 20 scorers earn a spot in the same year’s PGA Championship, which in 2026 will be Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia. Bandon Dunes was designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 1999. Pacific Dunes, designed by Tom Doak, opened in 2001.
“To host the PGA Professional Championship just feels right,” said Chris Keiser, a partner at Dream Golf, the parent company that owns Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. “PGA of America Golf Professionals have been such a key to the success of Bandon Dunes. They saw something here and shared it with their members and their fellow professionals.”
