NEWTOWN SQUARE – Founded in 1896, Aronimink Golf Club will host the PGA Championship for the second time in its history and first since 1962 (won by Gary Player). Aronimink also hosted the 2003 Senior PGA Championship and 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Originally designed by the legendary golf course architects Donald Ross and Gil Hanse who completed a restoration of the course in 2018.
The 2026 PGA Championship will feature a 156-player field and will have a 36-hole cut, with the low 70 players (and ties) advancing to the weekend.
Truist Championship winner Kristoffer Reitan will make his PGA Championship debut. The PGA TOUR rookie became the second player from Norway to win on the PGA TOUR and the second player to win a Signature Event for his first career PGA TOUR title (Jacob Bridgeman/The Genesis Invitational); finished No. 3 in the 2025 DP World Tour Top 10 to earn his TOUR card for the 2026 season.
Reitan hopes to follow the winning ways of fellow Norweigan Viktor Hovland.
In search of his first major championship title, Rickie Fowler enters the week with three consecutive top-10 finishes on TOUR (T8/RBC Heritage, T9/Cadillac Championship, T2/Truist Championship); best finish at the PGA Championship is T3 (2014).
The 2026 Field features:
A total of 93 PGA TOUR winners who have combined for 445 titles, led by Rory McIlroy (30)
