Played at the West Course, unless otherwise noted.

For USGA championships, the West Course has been typically set up at par 70.

The 640-yard (585 m) par five twelfth is the second longest hole in major championship history.

Winged Foot G.C. member Tommy Armour won the 1927 U.S. Open, 1930 PGA Championship, and the 1931 British Open.

Claude Harmon was the head professional at Winged Foot G.C. when he won the 1948 Masters and collected a first place check for $2,500. He was the last club professional to win a major championship. Previously, Winged Foot G.C. head professional Craig Wood won the 1941 Masters and U.S. Open, the first time any golfer won those two titles in the same year.

Ogilvy's 2006 winning score and Irwin's in 1974 represent two of the highest major championship 72-hole scores in the modern era of golf. Julius Boros' 9-over-par winning score of 293 in the 1963 U.S. Open (at The Country Club near Boston) represents both the highest aggregate score and highest score in relation to par during this era.
