Oak Hill Country Club has been selected to host the 80th Senior PGA Championsh­ip in 2019.

This marks the second time in 11 years the tournament will be played on the club’s Donald Rossdesign­ed East Course, located just outside of Rochester, New York. In 2008, Jay Haas won the senior championsh­ip at Oak Hill with a 7-over 287, which remains the highest-winning score in relation to par since the event was expanded to 72 holes in 1958.

Oak Hill has hosted three PGA Championsh­ips, most recently in 2013, and has already been selected to host a record-tying fourth event in 2023. The East Course was also the site of the 1995 Ryder Cup, and has hosted three U.S. Opens.
