Sky Sports will carry extended live coverage of the 2026 PGA Championship from Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania, with the build-up starting on Tuesday and the first full broadcast window opening at 12.30pm ET on Thursday and Friday.
The network said it will stay live until at least midnight during the first two rounds, then return at 3pm on Saturday for the third round and 4pm on Sunday for the final round, keeping coverage on air long after the last putt is holed. A bonus Live from the PGA Championship programme will run on Tuesday and Wednesday of tournament week, and one-hour highlights will be available for all four rounds.
Scottie Scheffler arrives as the defending champion after winning last year’s PGA Championship by five shots at Quail Hollow Club, and the world No 1 is again the pre-tournament favourite as he chases a fifth major title in as many seasons. Rory McIlroy is also in the frame as a two-time winner of the Wanamaker Trophy, coming in after defending the Green Jacket at The Masters last month.
That pairing gives the week an immediate edge, but the field is deeper than the marquee names. Cameron Young has already picked up multiple PGA Tour wins this season, Jordan Spieth has another chance to complete the career Grand Slam, and Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm both contended last year. Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood are among the English players trying to make an impression as the major season reaches another turning point.
Aronimink is hosting the PGA Championship for the first time since 1962, when Gary Player lifted the Wanamaker Trophy. The par-70 layout has staged other big events since then, including the PGA Tour’s AT&T National in 2010 and 2011, won by Justin Rose and Nick Watney, and the 2018 BMW Championship, taken by Keegan Bradley. For Sky Sports, which says it is the home of the PGA Championship in the UK and Ireland, the setting offers both history and a long broadcast schedule built for viewers who want the tournament from the first shot to the final hole.
The pressure point is simple: Scheffler is the man to beat, but McIlroy and a crowded chasing pack have enough firepower to make this more than a title defence. With Aronimink returning to the championship calendar after more than six decades, the week is set up to test whether the favorite can hold off a field that already has several players carrying winning form and major pedigree.
