PGA Championship field 2026: Who is playing at Aronimink Golf Club?
Check out the full field from the second men's major of the year.
The 156-man field for the second men's major of the year has been finalised.
The very best golfers will descend upon Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania this week for the 2026 PGA Championship.
World number one Scottie Scheffler returns to defend his title and is the pre-tournament favourite.
The American, 29, will count reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy as his biggest threat.
Whilst the in-form Cameron Young, who has won twice on the PGA Tour this season, will believe he can finally have a major breakthrough.
England's Matthew Fitzpatrick is also in good form having won twice too and jumped into third on the Official World Golf Ranking.
Elsewhere, there are 11 LIV Golf players in the field.
The breakaway tour's charge for the Wanamaker Trophy will be led by Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton.
Notable players not teeing it up this week include multiple major champions Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
Woods, 50, is currently in Switzerland attending an intensive 90-day rehab programme after being arrested on charges of driving under the influence in March.
Mickelson, meanwhile, continues his absence from the sport for a private family health matter that has reduced him to only one appearance in the LIV Golf League this season.
The 2026 PGA Championship field was finalised on Sunday evening.
Brandt Snedeker's victory at the Myrtle Beach Classic saw him earn the final spot and bump compatriot Tom Hoge into the alternate list which includes Tony Finau.
GolfMagic has listed the entire field for the 2026 PGA Championship below.
