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.

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.
