PGA Championship 2026 Tee Times: Full R1 Pairings and UK & Ireland Start Times for Opening Round at Aronimink Golf Club | golf news

Grouping and tee times for the opening round of the 108th PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

Scottie Scheffler is the pre-tournament favorite to defend his title and win his fifth major title, 12 months after recording a five-stroke finish at Quail Hollow Club. The world number one took on the late and early part of the draw in the first two days.

Scheffler has finished runner-up in his last three Worldwide starts, including to Rory McIlroy at the Masters, and the American is looking to become the first winner of back-to-back PGA Championships since Brooks Koepka defended his title in 2019.

McIlroy is on the other side of the draw as he chases a second successive major, having defended his title at the Masters last month, with the Northern Irishman having previously won the Wanamaker Trophy twice.

He is grouped with Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth, who can complete the career Grand Slam with a win in the marquee three-ball teeing off at 8:40am local time (1:40pm UK time) on Thursday.
