“It is exciting to have our PGA Professional National Championship coming to Philadelphia Cricket Club, a venue that connects much of the early history of golf in this country with the design excellence of A.W. Tillinghast, who was a key advisor at our founding nearly a century ago,” said PGA of America president Ted Bishop. “Our talented field of PGA Professionals will find a great test at Philadelphia Cricket Club and we anticipate that an outstanding champion will be crowned in 2015.”<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Cricket Club was founded in 1854 and is the only country club in America to have opened a golf course in each of the past three centuries. The venue hosted the 1907 and 1910 U.S. Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
