    Description

    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]
    The teenage García's outgoing antics during the tournament had captured the attention of many golf fans, but his sole major title came over seventeen years later at the
    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
    .
