Golf fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2026 PGA Championship, which kicks off this week. From May 14 to the 17th, the biggest 156 names in golf will compete to earn the coveted Wanamaker trophy.
Last year’s winner Scottie Scheffler, 29, who took home the trophy for the first time, will return as the defending champion. Other big names will include Rory McIlroy, who is coming off of two consecutive Masters titles and is trying for his third PGA win and seventh major title. Other star players to watch are Cameron Young, Jon Rahm, and Bryson DeChambeau.
This year, the tournament will take place at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania, a location that hasn’t hosted the event since the 1960s. According to the PGA website, tickets to the event have sold out for all four days. However, verified resale tickets are now available through SeatGeek.
