Golf History: 1924 PGA Championship at French Lick I caused the cancellation of both the 1917 and 1918 PGA Championships. In 1924, the PGA Championship was played in French Lick on the Donald Ross-designed French Lick Springs Golf Club (now called the Donald Ross Course), which opened in 1917. Even though the Ross Course at French Lick has seen numerous renovations over the years it remains just as it was 100 years ago and is always in tournament shape. By Mike May As the calendar gets closer to the 2024 PGA Championship, I would like to revisit the 7th PGA Championship held 100 years ago, in French Lick. The 1924 PGA Championship featured two of golf’s most talented players: American Walter Hagen and England’s Jim Barnes. Hagen had already won the 1921 PGA, defeating Barnes in the final, 3 & 2. Barnes, himself, had won two previous PGA Championships (1916 and 1919). World War Michigan Golf Journal
