The PGA of America has announced that The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island will host the PGA Championship in May of 2031.

Another interesting fact about The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is that it is officially rated the hardest golf course in the world, based on course ratings. The course is so challenging that it has earned the nickname ‘The Marquis de Sade’ after the French writer of torture whose name became synonymous with sadism. It has a course rating of 79.6 and is capable of being played up to 7,900 yards from the back tees. The Ocean Course was even a brutal test to some of the best players in the world at the 1991 Ryder Cup, which saw holes won with scores as high as double bogey.
