The 2000 PGA Championship was the 82nd PGA Championship, held August 17–20 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. It was the second time for the event at Valhalla, which hosted four years earlier in 1996. Tiger Woods won his second straight PGA Championship and fifth major in a three-hole playoff over Bob May.^[2] Woods and May finished at 18 under par to set the PGA Championship record to par, later equaled by Woods in 2006. It was the first time since 1937 that a PGA Championship title was successfully defended, and the first ever as a stroke play event. Woods and May were five shots ahead of third-place finisher Thomas Bjørn.^[3]

Woods' victory marked the first time since 1953 (Ben Hogan) that a player had won three major championships in the same calendar year; Woods won the U.S. Open and the British Open in the previous two months for three consecutive majors. He won the Masters in April 2001 to complete the Tiger Slam of four consecutive majors.

May opened with an even-par 72 then shot 66 (−6) in each of the final three rounds; this was the only time he was in contention in a major championship. Designer of the course and five-time champion Jack Nicklaus, age 60, made his final appearance at the PGA Championship. Playing with Woods, he needed an eagle on the 36th hole to make the cut; his pitch shot missed by inches and he settled for birdie.^[4]

Valhalla later hosted the Ryder Cup in 2008, the first U.S. victory in nine years and the most recent to date. The Senior PGA Championship was played at the course in 2004 and 2011 and the PGA Championship returned in 2014.

Final round

Sunday, August 20, 2000

In the final pairing and well ahead of the field at the turn, May and Woods both shot 31 (−5) on the back nine. A key hole was the par four 15th. Holding a one-shot lead May hit his approach shot to within four feet while Woods missed the green. Woods hit an indifferent chip to around 10 feet and then made the par putt. When May missed his short birdie putt, his lead remained a single stroke. After Woods' birdie on 17, they were tied going to the 72nd hole. On 18 May curled in a double-breaking 15-footer for birdie. Woods then sank a pressure-packed five-footer for his own birdie to force a playoff.^[2]^[3]
