The 2026 PGA Championship is finally here, and the world’s best golfers are heading to Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania, for what promises to be an unforgettable showdown. As the season’s second major, this event is already generating buzz with a lineup of superstar pairings and storylines that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
All eyes will be on Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy comes in hot after securing his second consecutive Masters victory in April, and he’s looking to add another PGA Championship title to his resume—his last win here was in 2014, a year that saw him claim two majors. Scheffler, the defending champion, is no slouch either. After a stellar 2025 season with two major wins and a runner-up finish at this year’s Masters, he’s hungry to reclaim the top spot on the leaderboard.
History adds an extra layer of intrigue: American golfers have won the PGA Championship for ten straight years, with Jason Day (2015) being the last international champion. Can a player from outside the U.S. break the streak, or will another American rise to the occasion? With a deep field of talent, anything is possible.
