The PGA Championship begins on Thursday at the Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina, and among the top golfers competing will be Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele.

Three of the last four PGA champions have been multi-time winners—Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Phil Mickelson. Scheffler is currently the highest ranked golfer, but is seeking his first PGA Championship victory after finishing second two years ago. McIlroy has won two PGA Championships, but his last PGA Championship victory came over a decade ago. Meanwhile, Xander Schauffele won his first PGA Championship last year, and will look to defend his title this week.

A total of 22 golfers have won multiple PGA Championships over its 109 history. Of those 22, seven have won titles in back-to-back years. A select group of six have won three or more total championship over their careers, with Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen tied for the most with five titles each.

Here are the golfers that have won multiple championships, in both the match play era and stroke play era.
