Pacific Northwest Senior PGA Championship

The Pacific Northwest Senior PGA Championship, also known as the PNW Senior PGA Championship, is a golf championship for senior players held annually, usually in September in the Pacific Northwest. It is affiliated with the PGA of America. The Senior PGA Professional Championship was established in 1952, although a Pacific Northwest Senior Golf Championship had existed long before then at an amateur level and was even won by a former tennis star Bernie Schwengers in 1943.[1] In the 1960s, it was held for years at the Yakima Elks' Golf and Country Club between 21 players with prize money of just $920.[2]

Winners

gollark: Also, why say "tonne" or "metric tone" when you could say... *megagram*?
gollark: Tonnes and tons are different, I think.
gollark: 666 kiloinch
gollark: It does big*ints*, decimals are available in a library. Probably several, since the "there's one way to do it" thing is a lie.
