Midwest PGA Championship

The Midwest PGA Championship is a golf tournament that is the championship of the Midwest section of the PGA of America. The section was formed in 1924, encompassing the states of Missouri and Kansas. Records kept by the section track winners back to 1960. It is unclear whether there were championship tournaments held before that time. Sam Reynolds, club pro from Kansas City, Missouri holds the record with most victories, winning five championships in the 1960s. Two-time PGA Tour winner Tom Pernice Jr. won the title three straight years, from 1994–96. Former New York Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry won the 1980 tournament after he retired from his baseball career.
