Martin Kaymer proves he's still got it! The Cleeks Golf Club Captain delivered a stellar performance at the 2026 PGA Championship on Thursday, immediately grabbing a share of the lead after Round One. With a 3-under-par 67, the two-time major winner demonstrated that he's far from being past his prime on golf's grandest stages.
This was no ordinary round, folks! Kaymer hadn't shown such a strong display at a major since the 2020 PGA Championship. And a shared lead? He last held one in 2014 during his legendary wire-to-wire victory at the U.S. Open. The 41-year-old is making an impressive comeback.
Kaymer's Recipe for Success
What's behind this sensational round? Kaymer himself was relaxed when speaking: “I've been playing well in the last two or three LIV events. Although without the top results, I knew that consistency would return,” said the Cleeks captain. He is convinced that the course at Aronimink suits him and is a fair test.
Along with six other top golfers, including our German compatriot Stephan Jaeger and defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Kaymer is currently at 3-under par. The battle for the 2026 PGA Championship title is thus open – and Martin Kaymer is right in the mix, fully engaged. Let's see if the streak of strong performances continues!
