PGA Championship Field 2026: Who’s Confirmed For Aronimink?

The second men’s Major of the year, the PGA Championship, is a little more than a week away.

In 2026, the tournament comes from Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania for just the second time in the tournament’s history, after Gary Player won the event at the venue in 1962.

That was the 44th edition of the tournament, but this year, it will be played for the 108th time.

The PGA Championship is widely accepted as having the strongest field in golf, while it is the only one of the four Majors that doesn’t feature amateurs.

Instead, a mixture of talent, including the best players the current era has to offer, former winners of the event and PGA professionals, all feature in a field of 156 - the largest of all the Majors.

All but two of the players in the field have been confirmed, with the spots reserved for the winners of this week’s Myrtle Beach Classic and Truist Championship.

The defending champion is Scottie Scheffler, who, a year ago, beat Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley by five shots at Quail Hollow.

Scheffler is having another good season, albeit with more runner-up finishes than he would prefer, including at The Masters, and he will be determined to lift the Wanamaker Trophy once again on Sunday evening.

While both players will be fancied to do well, they won't have it all their own way, with the likes of Matt Fitzpatrick, who has three PGA Tour wins this season, Players Champion Cameron Young and Xander Schaffele, who won the event in 2024, also in the field.

Other former champions to look out for include three-time winner Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, who has won the tournament twice, and Collin Morikawa.

Among the other big PGA Tour stars in the field are Ludvig Aberg, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose.

Big names from LIV Golf in the field include Jon Rahm, DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton, Cameron Smith, Joaquin Niemann and Dustin Johnson, who has received a special invitation.

A total of 20 club pros made it in the field via the PGA Professional Championship, which was held at Bandon Dunes in April. One is winner Jesse Droemer, while 2023 hero Michael Block, who finished T15 at Oak Hill, appears in the tournament for the fifth consecutive year.

One player who isn't in the field despite being eligible is four-time winner Tiger Woods, who is taking an indefinite break from golf following a car crash in March.

Another notable name, two-time champion Phil Mickelson, had been in the field, but he has withdrawn as he continues to deal with a family health matter, with first alternate Max Homa replacing him.
