McIlroy, Scheffler Lead Loaded 2026 PGA Championship Field at Aronimink

The 2026 PGA Championship field at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, PA, is set with 154 players, including 28 major champions, led by Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. Phil Mickelson withdrew for a personal family matter and was replaced by Max Homa, with two more spots to be filled by the Myrtle Beach Classic and Truist Championship winners. Many top players are in form, including Scheffler who will defend his title after last year’s win at Quail Hollow, while McIlroy arrives with major momentum after consecutive Masters titles. A star-studded mix of past champions such as Koepka, Thomas, Morikawa and Day will also contend this year, as the field braces for the major at Aronimink starting May 14.
