The 1983 PGA Championship was the 65th PGA Championship, held August 4–7 at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, California. Hal Sutton led wire-to-wire to win his only major title, one stroke ahead of runner-up Jack Nicklaus, a five-time champion.[2] It was Nicklaus' 19th and final runner-up finish in a major championship.[3]
It was the second major at Riviera, which hosted the U.S. Open in 1948, won by Ben Hogan. The PGA Championship returned to the course in 1995. It hosts a regular event on the PGA Tour, originally known as the Los Angeles Open.
