The PGA Championship, the second major on the men's golf calendar, is set to return to Aronimink Golf Club in 2026 for the first time since 1962. This 108th edition promises a star-studded field, with 14 past champions already confirmed to tee it up at the historic Pennsylvania course.

These champions have earned a lifetime exemption into the tournament, a tradition that ensures every winner can return to compete. The lineup includes a diverse mix of legends and recent winners, spanning decades of golf history. Notable names on the list range from 1970s icon Jack Nicklaus to modern stars like Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas.

However, three prominent past champions will be absent: John Daly (1991), Phil Mickelson (2005, 2021), and Tiger Woods (1999, 2000, 2006, 2007). Their absence leaves a void, but the remaining 14 still represent a formidable collection of talent.

Aronimink last hosted a major 64 years ago, when Bobby Nichols captured the Wanamaker Trophy. The course's classic design and challenging layout are expected to test the world's best professionals. As the field takes shape, fans can look forward to seeing these champions vie for glory once again, adding to the rich legacy of the PGA Championship.
