Vijay Singh, the 1998 champion, earned his third and final major title in a three-hole aggregate playoff, defeating Justin Leonard and Chris DiMarco.

[2] At the time Singh, age 41, was third in the world rankings;[3] the win moved him to #2 and he ascended to the top spot three weeks later, displacing Tiger Woods.

[7] The PGA Championship returned just six years later, in 2010, displacing the more confined Sahalee Country Club near Seattle,[8][9][10][11] which hosted in 1998, Singh's first major win.

[12] In early 2005, its chief executive officer, Jim Awtrey, cited the proximity to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver as the main reason for the retraction, and that Sahalee was targeted for 2012 to 2015 for another PGA Championship.

This was the second PGA Championship (and major) in the state of Wisconsin; 71 years earlier, the 1933 edition was played at Blue Mound in Wauwatosa, just west of Milwaukee.

Friday, August 13, 2004 Justin Leonard posted a 3-under 69 and Vijay Singh carded a 4-under 68 to share a one stroke lead at 9 under midway through the 86th PGA Championship.

Opening round leader Darren Clarke shot a 1-under 71 and is tied for third with Ernie Els and Briny Baird.

Saturday, August 14, 2004 Vijay Singh shot 69 to reach 12 under par as he tried to add a third major title to his 1998 PGA Championship and 2000 Masters.

Briny Baird, the leader at one point, pulled his tee shot over the cliff left of the par-3 17th and wound up with a triple bogey to knocked him out of contention.

Sunday, August 15, 2004 An exciting final round filled with missed opportunities led to a three-man playoff between Vijay Singh, Chris DiMarco and Justin Leonard.

DiMarco, the only player in the final nine groups to break par, had an 18-foot birdie putt to win on the 72nd hole that he left short.

Singh nearly drove the green and left a simple pitch to 6 feet (1.8 m), while DiMarco and Leonard both made par.

Neither finished the hole, and Singh's par secured his second PGA Championship and third career major.
