    Valhalla Golf Club
    , located east of
    Louisville, Kentucky
    , is a private golf club designed by
    Jack Nicklaus

    In 1992, Valhalla was selected to host the
    PGA Championship
    in the year
    1996
    , one of golf's four
    majors
    . The following year (1993), the
    PGA of America
    purchased a 25% interest in the club. After the championship in 1996, the PGA of America raised its stake to 50% and announced that the event would return to Valhalla in
    2000
    . At its conclusion, the PGA of America exercised an option to purchase the remaining interest in the club. Later that year, it announced that the

    2008
    .
    Valhalla also hosted the
    PGA Club Professional Championship
    in 2002 and the

    2004
    , but the PGA of America switched it to
    Whistling Straits
    in
    Wisconsin
    .
