The 1937 PGA Championship was the 20th PGA Championship, held May 24–30 at Pittsburgh Field Club in Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania, a suburb northeast of Pittsburgh.

[3][4] The previous edition in 1936 was held in November at Pinehurst, North Carolina.

McSpaden lipped out his par-saving putt from 8 feet (2.4 m) to end the match.

It was Shute's third and final major title; his first was at the British Open in 1933 at St. Andrews.

Prior to World War II, the PGA Championship was most often played in September, but ranged from late May (1937, 1942) to early December (1929).
