The 1999 PGA Championship was the 81st PGA Championship held from August 12–15 at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. Tiger Woods won his first PGA Championship and second overall major by one stroke over 19-year old Sergio García.
At the time, many (including noted commentator Gary McCord) thought that this tournament would mark the beginning of a long rivalry between Woods and García. García's outgoing antics during the tournament had captured the attention of many golfing fans. However, García to date has failed to win a major championship, while Woods has become one of the most decorated professionals of all time.
