The 1950 PGA Championship was the 32nd PGA Championship, held June 21–27 at Scioto Country Club in Upper Arlington, Ohio, a suburb northwest of Columbus. Chandler Harper won the match play championship, 4 and 3 over Henry Williams, Jr. in the Tuesday final;[1] the winner's share was $3,500 and the runner-up's was $1,500.[2] It was Harper's only major title; his next best finish in a major was a tie for eighth at the Masters in 1947.
Defending champion Sam Snead won $250 as the medalist in the stroke play qualifier at 140 (−4),[3] but lost in the second round.[4] He regained the title, his third, in 1951 at age 39.
