Aronimink hosts the 108th PGA Championship for the first time since 1962, with Thursday’s opening round centering on defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth’s latest slam bid and Cameron Young’s major push.
Scheffler arrives as world No. 1 after three straight runner-up finishes and skipped last week’s Truist Championship—the same buildup that preceded his 5-shot PGA win last year.
Spieth, 32, makes his ninth attempt to complete the career Grand Slam, but enters without a top-10 finish in 12 starts this season despite making 11 cuts.
Young brings two 2026 wins and six top-10s in his last seven starts, while Matt Fitzpatrick has won three times in his past five starts to join Rory McIlroy among the leading contenders.
LIV Golf’s players also face scrutiny after a poor Masters and uncertainty around Saudi PIF funding, even as Aronimink’s setup could suit long hitters such as Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm.
