The winner's share of $65,000 was the last in five figures at the PGA Championship. It rose over 50% to $100,000 the following year and to $125,000 in 1984, nearly doubling in just two years.
This was the fourth major for Southern Hills, which previously hosted the PGA Championship in 1970 and the U.S. Open in 1958 and 1977. The PGA Championship returned in 1994 and 2007 and the U.S. Open in 2001.
Floyd's win marked the tenth time that all four major championships were won by Americans in a calendar year. This was the last time this happened until 2024.2024-07-21 Xander Schauffele Wins British Open for Second Major Title of 2024 https://www.si.com/golf/xander-schauffele-wins-2024-british-open 2024-07-21 Sports Illustrated John Schwarb
