The 108th PGA Championship is set to ignite Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, starting May 14, and the anticipation is already electric. As the second major of the season, this tournament brings together 156 of the world's best golfers, all vying for the coveted Wanamaker Trophy. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just gearing up for the season's biggest moments, the first-round tee times promise a spectacle you won't want to miss.
Reigning PGA champion Scottie Scheffler headlines a powerhouse afternoon group alongside U.S. Open winners Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose. After a dominant run that has cemented his place atop the golf world, Scheffler will look to defend his title with the same precision that earned him last year's victory. They'll tee off in the afternoon on Thursday, then switch to a morning slot on Friday—a classic major championship rhythm that tests both endurance and adaptability.
Another must-watch trio features Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Jordan Spieth. McIlroy, a three-time major winner, is chasing his third Wanamaker Trophy, while Rahm and Spieth are both hungry for their first PGA Championship title. For Spieth, a win here would complete the career Grand Slam—a feat he's pursued for nearly a decade. This group is packed with star power and narrative tension, making it a prime candidate for early-round drama.
Just 10 minutes ahead of that star-studded group, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka will share the fairway with Tyrrell Hatton. Schauffele, known for his clutch performances in majors, and Koepka, a four-time major winner, bring a blend of power and precision. Hatton, fresh off a T-3 finish at the Masters, adds an extra layer of intrigue as he looks to carry that momentum into Pennsylvania.
Rounding out the featured pairings, Justin Thomas and Keegan Bradley—both former PGA Championship winners—will tee off at 1:54 p.m. ET alongside the red-hot Cameron Young. Young has been turning heads with his consistent play, and this group promises fireworks as two champions aim to reclaim glory against a rising star.
