golf

The second golf major of the year is on the horizon, as the 2026 PGA Championship will tee off on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

After becoming just the fourth repeat winner of the Masters, Rory McIlroy will hit the course this week looking to become just the seventh golfer with three or more PGA Championship wins and the fourth to do so in the event's era as a stroke-play event.

McIlroy, the second favorite to win according to Lucky Rebel and other top online sportsbooks, will be part of the most interesting pairing for the first two rounds. On Thursday and Friday, he will walk the course with Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth. That trio of multiple major champions will tee it up at 9:40 a.m. ET on Thursday and 3:05 p.m. ET on Friday.

Here is a rundown of all of the pairings and scheduled tee times for the first two days of the 2026 PGA Championship.
