The 1992 PGA Championship was the 74th PGA Championship, held August 13–16 at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri, a suburb west of St. Louis. Nick Price won the first of his three major championships, three strokes ahead of runners-up John Cook, Nick Faldo, Jim Gallagher Jr., and Gene Sauers.[2] [3] The previous year, after the birth of his first child, Price withdrew from the 1991 PGA Championship, which allowed John Daly to enter and win.

This was the second major championship at Bellerive, which hosted the U.S. Open in 1965;[4] the PGA Championship returned in 2018.
