PGA Championship 2026 LIVE: Confirmed field and tee times plus location, leaderboard and how to follow major action

Scottie Scheffler will once again be the favourite as the 2026 PGA Championship takes place in Philadelphia this week.

Scheffler was brilliant at Quail Hollow Club last year, beating Bryson DeChambeau by five strokes to secure the Wanamaker Trophy.

He will now be eyeing glory again at Aronimink Golf Club for the 108th edition of the PGA Championship.

Rory McIlroy, champion in 2012 and 2014, will be looking for glory once more too, following his stunning back-to-back victories at The Masters.

DeChambeau will hope to star after his poor showing at Augusta, while a host of other top names will hope to be in contention.

The PGA Championship is famous for having the deepest field in golf, meaning whoever wins at Aronimink will have earned it.

Course info for 2026 PGA Championship

Aronimink Golf Club has been off the major tournament rotation for several decades, but is a historic course in America.

It last hosted a major in 1962 when Grand Slam legend Gary Player won the PGA Championship.

It has held several PGA Tour events in recent years, as well as the 2020 Women’s PGA Championship.

Opened in 1896, the Donald Ross-designed course underwent a Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner renovation in 2018 and is a clever mix of shorter, strategic par 4s, two gettable par 5s and a string of brutal par 3s.

It has over 200 bunkers and is laid out over very hilly terrain.

The notable holes include the first – an intimidating opener which plays through a valley and steeply up to the green – as well as the picturesque 5th hole, the challenging 11th uphill par-4 and the stunning 17th par-3 over water.

For this major, only one of the four par 3s will play below 215 yards, while the finishing hole has been lengthened for the event and will be a tricky finale.

Aronimink is famous for its row of deck chairs overlooking the 18th green – it remains to be seen who will get to sit in the best seats in the house coming tournament week.

Confirmed field for 2026 PGA Championship

The PGA Championship has a full field of 156 players before the cut on Friday night and all of the world’s top players will be involved.

Scheffler and McIlroy will headline the event alongside Cam Young, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele.

LIV Golf stars DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton will be in action following a tumultuous few weeks for the breakaway tour.

Past winners of the PGA Championship are exempt for life, meaning the likes of Padraig Harrington, Shaun Micheel, Jimmy Walker, Jason Dufner and Martin Kaymer will be in action.

Phil Mickelson has with withdrawn from the tournament with Max Homa taking his place, while Tiger Woods and John Daly are not involved.

The PGA Championship differs from the other three majors in the fact that no amateur players compete and instead, the tournament includes 20 PGA Professionals.

Club pro Michael Block, who came 15th at the 2023 PGA Championship star, has qualified again.

The PGA of America has handed out a large number of special invites with Dustin Johnson among those handed an invitation this year.

Patrick Reed, Marco Penge, Billy Horschel, Luke Donald and Aaron Rai have also received entry.

Jake Knapp qualified but had to withdraw due to injury with Tom Hoge replacing him.

The live leaderboard from Aronimink can be found here once play is up and running.

The prize pot for the event is yet to be confirmed, but last year was set at $19million with Scheffler taking home $3.42m as champion.
