The Wanamaker Trophy is heading to Aronimink Golf Club, and the golf world is buzzing. The 108th PGA Championship, set for May 14-17, brings together the sport's biggest names in what promises to be a thrilling second major of 2026.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler arrives in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, looking to repeat his dominant performance from last year. The world No. 1 famously lost a five-shot lead on the front nine before rallying to win by five with a closing even-par 71. Scheffler's victory made him the first player since Seve Ballesteros to win his first three majors by three shots or more.
Rory McIlroy enters with momentum, aiming to start 2026 with back-to-back major wins. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Jordan Spieth. The 32-year-old Texan is still chasing the one trophy missing from his collection—the Wanamaker Trophy—which would complete his career Grand Slam.
The stage for these historic pursuits is Aronimink Golf Club, a Donald Ross masterpiece designed in 1926 and opened two years later. Stretching 7,394 yards, the course has gained 114 yards since hosting the 2018 BMW Championship. Its tree-lined fairways and undulating greens have tested champions before, including Gary Player, who captured his first PGA Championship here in 1962, edging Bob Goalby by one shot.
Keegan Bradley, the 2025 Team USA Ryder Cup captain, is one of two players in the field with a previous victory at Aronimink, having won the 2018 BMW Championship here. Justin Rose also triumphed on these grounds, claiming the 2010 AT&T National.
The purse for the 2026 PGA Championship hasn't been announced yet, but last year's event at Quail Hollow played for $19 million, with Scheffler taking home $3.42 million as his winner's share.
As Scheffler, Spieth, and McIlroy chase their place in golf history, Aronimink's rich traditions set the perfect stage for another unforgettable major championship week.
