History
In 1924, the Metropolitan PGA hosted its first championship. It was a one-round tournament held at Rockaway Hunting Club which was won by Walter Hagen. Though sometimes referred to as the Metropolitan PGA Championship it is different from this event. The "first annual" Metropolitan PGA Championship was held in 1926 at Salisbury Country Club in Salisbury, New York on Long Island. In the finals, playing against "strong winds," Joe Turnesa "played wonderful golf" to defeat Joe Sylvester 6 & 5.
