Before Saturday’s meeting times are set at the 2026 PGA Championship, Friday’s second round should be over. Once it does, the cut will be made, with about half the field going home early. The survivors will prepare to continue their quest for greater glory on Saturday.
We won’t know the official game times until Friday, but there are a few things we do know. First, the players will be paired up for Saturday’s third round, where everyone will start in the first group.
In addition, the 3rd round matches will be based on the leader position, with the leaders occupying the final group and starting in the afternoon. The players in bottom of the leaderboard after the cut, the first Saturday morning will be closed.
We can also look to the past to get a good idea of ​​what this year’s start times will be. On Saturday at last year’s PGA Championship, it was Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele is scheduled to take place in the first pairing at 8:25 a.m. ETwhile the leaders were to begin their rounds at 2:45 PM ET. However, inclement weather on Saturday morning forced organizers to postpone tee times.
If inclement weather is avoided this year, you can expect Saturday meeting times at the 2026 PGA Championship to fall between 8 am ET and 3 pm ET.
No matter when they come out, you can expect stars like Scottie Scheffler, Jordan SpiethPatrick Reed, Brooks Koepka and more to be in the mix on Saturday.
