The 1999 PGA Championship was the 81st PGA Championship , held August 12–15 at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois , a suburb northwest of Chicago . Tiger Woods , 23, won his first PGA Championship and second major , one stroke ahead of runner-up Sergio García , age 19.[ 2]
At the time, many (including noted commentator Gary McCord ) predicted the start of a long rivalry between Woods and García.[ 2] Masters in 2017 . Mike Weir , the co-leader with Woods after 54 holes, shot 80 in the final round and tied for tenth.[ 2]
Although this was the first PGA Championship at Medinah, it was the fourth major; the U.S. Open was held at Course No. 3 in 1949 , 1975 , and 1990 . The PGA Championship returned seven years later in 2006 , also won by Woods, and Medinah hosted the Ryder Cup in 2012 .
