Separate training time for round 1
In April at the 2026 Masters, Rory McIlroy grabbed his second straight green jacket. This week in Aronimink, Scottie Scheffler will attempt to accomplish a similar feat: back-to-back PGA Championship wins.
Scheffler, the longtime No. 1, won two majors last season, including his first PGA Championship title at Quail Hollow. Starting the season with four career majors, Scheffler nearly added a fifth at the Masters. But he came up short as McIlroy collected his second Masters trophy.
Although he hasn’t won since his first start of the year in January, Scheffler is a three-time runner-up coming into PGA week.
Scheffler will tee off for the opening round in pursuit of his second PGA victory Thursday at 2:05 PM ET with Matt Fitzpatrick AND Justin Rose.
