The 1988 PGA Championship was the 70th PGA Championship, held August 11–14 at Oak Tree Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb north of Oklahoma City. Jeff Sluman shot a final round 65 (–6) to win his only major title, three strokes ahead of runner-up Paul Azinger, the 36-hole and 54-hole leader[2] and former college teammate.[3][4] Azinger was the reigning Player of the Year on the PGA Tour.
In the penultimate pairing on Sunday, Sluman was three strokes back at the start of the round. After a birdie at the second, he holed out for an eagle on the par-5 fifth, and when Azinger followed with a bogey, the two were tied at nine-under. Sluman had five birdies and an eagle with just one bogey in the final round while Azinger posted a second straight even-par 71. It was also the first of Sluman's six victories on the PGA Tour.[5][6] In the final pair with Azinger, Dave Rummells shot 75 (+4) and fell to a tie for sixth.
Azinger won the title five years later, defeating Greg Norman in a playoff in 1993.
