The 2026 PGA Championship is shaping up to be a thriller, and it's time for Moving Day at Aronimink. Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy have emerged as the leaders of the pack, both sitting at 4-under par heading into the third round. It's a narrow margin, with just a one-shot lead over a tightly packed field that includes six players tied at 3-under.
The leaderboard is a mix of rising stars and seasoned pros, but don't count out the big names yet. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who started the tournament sharing the lead, bounced back on Friday after a shaky start. He carded three birdies in his first four holes of the second round to climb back to 2-under. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are still within striking distance, keeping the pressure on the leaders.
Not everyone made it to the weekend, though. Bryson DeChambeau was the biggest name to miss the cut, joining Billy Horschel, Jacob Bridgeman, Tyrrell Hatton, Gary Woodland, and fan-favorite PGA pro Michael Block on the early flight home. It's a reminder of how unforgiving major championship golf can be.
