Tiger Woods moved to 12-0 in majors where he led or shared the lead after 54 holes. He bested the field by five shots to win his third PGA Championship and 12th major. Third round co-leader Luke Donald shot a two-over 74 and fell out of contention on the back nine. 2003 champion Shaun Micheel shot 69 to finish in second outright. Tiger Woods tied his record for the aggregate low score in PGA Championship history (shared with Bob May at Valhalla in 2000) at 18 strokes under-par.

Chad Campbell shot the low round of the day, a six-under 66, to finish in a tie for 24th.
