With a history of over 100 years, The Scottish PGA Championship is the most important tournament on the domestic calendar.
It has been held on a variety of courses over the years, but found a settled home at Gleneagles in 1999. Prior to then, some of the most prestigious courses in the country had staged the event including Turnberry, Royal Dornoch, Nairn, Dalmahoy, Prestwick, Royal Aberdeen and, on four occasions, Gleneagles had hosted the tournament.
Between 1999 and 2010, with the exception of 2000 when it was played over the Queens Course, the players competed on the PGA Centenary Course. Since 2010 the tournament has been played on the Kings Course, which will again provide a stern test for competitors in 2014.
Over they years some of the most famous names in Scottish golf have won the Championship - John Panton, Eric Brown, Bernard Gallacher, Sam Torrance, Brian Barnes as well as Open Champions Paul Lawrie and Sandy Lyle.
Incredibly, since the tournament moved to Gleneagles, no-one has won the Championship on more than one occasion. Indeed, from 1992 to date, only Paul Lawrie (1992 & 2005) and Colin Gillies (1995 & 1998) have two victories to their name. Since Ross Drummond did so in 1990 and 1991, no-one has mounted a succesful defence of their title, something Greig Hutcheon will endeavour to do in 2014.
