Watch The PGA Championship 2026 live streams as golf's second major of the season returns to Aronimink Golf Club for the first time in 64 years. Scottie Scheffler defends his crown, with the principal challenge expected to come from Masters champion Rory McIlroy.
Scheffler is part of a seven-way share of the lead after Round 1, as the defending champion shot -3. Incredibly, there are 42 players within three shots of the lead, as the Aronimink course takes as many prisoners as expected. Only 32 players of the 156-man field shot less than par.
McIlroy isn't one of them after the Ulsterman, and two-time reigning Masters champion hit four bogeys in a row to sit on +4.
Joining Scheffler in a share of the lead are German pair Martin Kaymer and Stephan Jaeger, South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter, Australia's Min-Woo Lee, Japan's Ryo Hisatsune and Alex Smalley of the United States. Though Kaymer has some grade, he's been out of form and none of the remainder would have been expected to challenge.
The only player to card a bogey-free round was Patrick Reed, who sits one shot off the lead.

What is the PGA Championship 2026 preview?
Scheffler won by five strokes from Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley at Quail Hollow 12 months ago and the former of that trio will again switch over from the struggling LIV Tour to tee it up. Jon Rahm is another LIV rebel who will hope to go well in Pennsylvania.
An American has won the PGA Championship for the past 10 years, with three-time champion Brooks Koepka, fit-again 2022 and 2017 winner Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa all among those to have lifted the famous trophy.
McIlroy will fly the flag for a non-American winner after his stunning triumph at the Masters. The Ulsterman's driver wasn't his friend at Augusta, but if he can hit well off the tee, then the rest of the field should beware.
Aronimink presents a unique challenge as a rarely seen course on the PGA circuit, with 175 bunkers set to cause some damage over four days of intense action.
