The PGA of America has announced that Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club in Gold Canyon, Arizona, will host the 2026 Senior PGA Professional Championship and 2028 PGA Professional Championship. Both four-day, 72-hole championships will be contested on the Prospector and Lost Gold courses.
The Senior PGA Professional Championship will be played in Arizona for the second time; in 2017, Frank Esposito Jr. won at Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale. The PGA Professional Championship will return to Arizona for the first time since the first two editions of the event, played at Century Country Club and Roadrunner Country Club in Scottsdale (1968) and at Roadrunner Country Club and San Marcos Country Club in Chandler (1969).
“Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club is one of Arizona’s premier venues for championship golf,” says PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club in Mesa, Arizona. “The Prospector and Lost Gold courses will provide a compelling challenge for the PGA of America Golf Professionals competing in two of our marquee championships.
“Arizona was the birthplace of the PGA Professional Championship and we are proud to return in 2028, 60 years after the inaugural edition.”
First held in 1989, the Senior PGA Professional Championship annually features 264 of the finest senior players representing all 41 PGA Sections. The 2025 edition, won by Florida’s Justin Hicks, was contested Oct. 23–26 at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
The PGA Professional Championship is the national championship for PGA of America Golf Professionals from across the country. The 312-player field consists of past Champions, the top 20 players and ties from the previous year’s Championship, as well as players qualifying through 41 PGA Section Championships. The 2026 PGA Professional Championship is scheduled for April 26–29 at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon, while the 2027 edition will take place at Streamsong Golf Resort in Bowling Green, Florida, April 25–28.
“It is a tremendous thrill and a great privilege to be named the host site for these two national championships…. We are committed to delivering an unforgettable experience for all the players in 2026 and 2028,” says Susan Hladky, owner of Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club.
