Since 1994, the PGA Championship has led all major championships with the most world-ranked players. Last year's PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club featured 99 of the top 100 world-ranked players, matching the record set in 2012 at The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, S.C. The major standard dates back to the origin of the Official World Golf Rankings in 1986. The PGA Championship continues to field the most international players of any U.S.-based major, and in 2010 and 2012 hosted a Championship-record 73 international players representing 22 countries.
