Folks, it's that time again! The second Major of the year is just around the corner and has the golf world collectively holding its breath. The 2026 PGA Championship tees off this week at the iconic Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Sunday, May 17th, will present us with the next champ who gets to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy. And the hype? It's absolutely electric once again!
Aronimink is ready, and the anticipation is palpable. Insiders are already saying the course is "absolutely perfect" – at least for a certain Rory McIlroy, who can unleash his drives here like few others. And with that, we're right in the thick of the top contenders. Besides Rory, who is absolutely determined to complete his career Grand Slam, of course, World Number One Scottie Scheffler is on hand, always good for a stellar round. Cameron Young is also highly touted, with his game evolving into a real weapon over the last six months.

But it's about more than just the top names. This PGA Championship is once again a focal point for the ongoing tensions in the golf world. Players from the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf League compete together, while the "tumultuous few weeks" for LIV Golf still resonate. Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm will be there as LIV stars, aiming to prove they can compete with the Tour's best. This will be a true duel of giants and shows that the big questions surrounding the future of men's golf are far from settled.
