The 2025-26 academic sports calendar may be winding down, but for Georgia Bulldogs alumni, the competition is just heating up. A talented group of former Athens standouts is heading to Philadelphia this week, not for the NFL draft, but for one of golf's most prestigious events: the PGA Championship.

Here's everything you need to know about the 108th edition of this major tournament, set to take place May 14-17, 2026, at the historic Aronomink Golf Club. Located in Newton Square, Pennsylvania—a northwest suburb of Philadelphia—the course plays as a par 70, stretching 7,394 yards. With a massive $20 million purse on the line, including $3.6 million for the winner, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler returns after a dramatic victory last year. The world's No. 1 player built a commanding five-shot lead over the first three days, only to see it nearly evaporate as Jon Rahm caught fire on Sunday. But in a classic role reversal, Scheffler found his form just in time, while Rahm folded under pressure—a finish that left fans on the edge of their seats.

This year's tournament carries extra intrigue thanks to Jordan Spieth. A win at Aronomink would complete the career grand slam for Spieth, who already has a Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open title to his name. It would also echo history: Gary Player won his first PGA Championship at this very course in 1962, during a season when Arnold Palmer captured the Masters and British Open, and Jack Nicklaus took the U.S. Open. The Big Three left their mark that year, and Spieth hopes to add his own chapter.

For fans planning to watch, the TV schedule offers extended major coverage. ESPN kicks things off Thursday from noon to 7 p.m. ET, with an extra hour on ESPN2.

Six former Bulldogs will be teeing it up in Philadelphia: Brian Harman, Harris English, Russell Henley, Chris Kirk, Keith Mitchell, and Sepp Straka. These Dawgs are ready to make their mark at the championship organized by the PGA of America—a true test of grit and skill on one of golf's biggest stages.
