The 1992 PGA Championship was the 74th PGA Championship, held August 13–16 at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri, a suburb west of St. Louis. Nick Price won the first of his three major championships, three strokes ahead of runners-up John Cook, Nick Faldo, Jim Gallagher Jr., and Gene Sauers.[2][3] The previous year, after the birth of his first child, Price withdrew from the 1991 PGA Championship, which allowed John Daly to enter and win.
