The 2002 PGA Championship was the 84th PGA Championship, held August 15-18 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, a suburb southwest of Minneapolis. Rich Beem won his only major title, one stroke ahead of runner-up Tiger Woods.
This was the third major at Hazeltine; it hosted the U.S. Open in 1970 and 1991. The PGA Championship returned seven years later in 2009.

In a dramatic final round, Woods birdied each of the last four holes to post a 9-under clubhouse score. Beem, in the final group behind Woods, sank a 35-foot (11 m) birdie putt on the 16th hole to maintain a two-shot margin with two holes to play. After a par 3 at the 17th, Beem was on the green at the par-4 18th in two shots. With the luxury of three putts to win the title by one stroke, Beem bogeyed and celebrated. Third round leader Justin Leonard shot 77 (+5) to finish six strokes back, in a tie for fourth.
