The 2026 PGA Championship has descended upon Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, PA this week, as the world’s best golfers vie for the 2nd major championship of the season.
This year marks the first time the championship has been held at Aronimink since 1962, when Gary Player won the first of two PGA titles narrowly edging out Bob Goalby by a single stroke. Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament as the betting favourite as he looks to make it back to back titles after winning in 2025.
The 154 man field will compete for the Wanamaker trophy, along with a $19M purse this weekend, with round 1 teeing off on Thursday, May 14th. Here are the players who the sports books have favoured to win it all, along with their first round pairings and tee times.
