Venerable Aronimink will host Women's PGA Championship in 2020, PGA Championship in '27

The PGA of America is bringing major championship golf back to the Philadelphia area.

It was announced Tuesday that Aronimink Golf Club will host the KMPG Women's PGA Championship in 2020, followed by the PGA Championship in 2027.

The former will mark the first women's major at the venerable club in Newtown Square, Pa., and the latter will be just the second men's major held there, 65 years after Gary Player claimed the 1962 PGA Championship.

"We're certain that the best players in the world - both men and women - will be pleased and, when the time comes, sufficiently challenged by one of America's special layouts," said PGA of America president Paul Levy.
