The PGA Championship has returned to Aronimink Golf Club for the first time since 1962, and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is on hand to defend his 2025 title, the report says.
Per the report, Scheffler enters the week after a dominant victory in 2025, when he beat Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley by a full five strokes. The report notes his presence adds weight to the field as players compete on the restored course.
The report says Rory McIlroy is also in the field coming off what the report calls his epic win at the 2026 Masters, providing a high-profile storyline as the championship unfolds. The pairing of a reigning major champion and the defending PGA winner frames much of the early attention.
The report raises the question of whether Scheffler can go back-to-back or whether McIlroy or another player will emerge over the course of the tournament. It emphasizes the historical return to Aronimink as part of the narrative surrounding this year’s event.
For those following the opening action, the report directs readers to follow along with all of Wednesday’s sights and sounds right here, offering ongoing coverage as the championship progresses.
