PGA Championship Hole 1 Flag - Sunday 5/18/2025
Used on Hole 1 during the final round of the 2025 PGA Championship, where Sam Burns opened with a 26-foot birdie putt.
Description
Flown on the first hole at Quail Hollow during the final round of the 2025 PGA Championship, this flag was in place on Sunday, May 18 as players began their closing push. Sam Burns was one of the few to birdie the opening hole, rolling in a 26-foot putt to kickstart one of the lowest rounds of the day.
The flag displays the official 2025 PGA Championship design, featuring Quail Hollow tournament branding and the number “1” clearly marking its on-course placement. Following the completion of Sunday’s round, a TRuEST™ authenticator witnessed its removal directly on-site. It was subsequently secured, marked, and verified as part of the official final-round course set.
Disclaimer: This item features a Gold OVD, as a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the flag’s removal, verifying its direct use during the 2025 PGA Championship. Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a field-used flag. The cover image has been edited for a white background.
