Lewis Rodman Wanamaker helped establish the first all-professional golf association in the U.S., the PGA of America, and soon thereafter donated a trophy for the inaugural PGA Championship in 1916, which was held at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York, just north of New York City.
That trophy bears the Wanamaker name and is one of the largest trophies in professional sports. It goes to the winner of the PGA Championship each year. Well, a replica goes to the winner for one year, while the original is displayed at the new home of the PGA of America in Frisco, Texas.
