2026 PGA Championship | Second Round
NEWTOWN SQUARE – Welcome to the second round of the 2026 PGA Championship, held a few miles north of the City of Brotherly Love – Philadelphia. There are 33 players within two strokes of the lead, setting up for a Friday and weekend to remember. A former host of the BMW Championship, the Aronimink Golf Club delivered in its return to professional golf, providing a tough test of thick rough, morning dew, and gusty conditions.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines a log-jam of leaders at 3-under. Of the “Big 4” favorites entering the tournament – Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young and Matt Fitzpatrick – only Scheffler is under par.
When the PGA Championship post-round press conference moderator asked McIlroy to describe his opening round Thursday, and the six-time major winner needed just one word, not fit for print. “S—,” McIlroy said after his rough finish with bogeys on his final four holes for a 4-over-par 74.
LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau had an even “S—ttier” day. DeChambeau did not speak to reporters after his round, and he’s in danger of missing his third cut at the past four majors. DeChambeau missed seven greens in regulation and needed 33 putts to get through his round, which did not see a birdie until his final hole, the ninth. He shot a (+6) – (76) and is T-135 with a 1:45pm tee time today.
The cut is projected at (+2).
