Round 2 of the 108th PGA Championship is well underway at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and Friday morning is delivering fresh chaos. Scottie Scheffler opened Round 2 with three bogeys in four holes — a stunning reversal after Thursday's 67 — while Rory McIlroy is grinding to make the cut after his opening 74. Here is the complete PGA Championship leaderboard update, all tee times, TV schedule, and everything you need to know.
PGA Championship Leaderboard Today — Round 2 Live Update
The early Round 2 leaderboard at Aronimink has a seven-way tie at the top at 3-under par among players who carried over their Round 1 positions: Aldrich Potgieter, Stephan Jaeger, Min Woo Lee, Ryo Hisatsune, Martin Kaymer, Scottie Scheffler, and Alex Smalley. A group of seven players sits at 2-under including Sahith Theegala, Daniel Brown, Max Greyserman, Xander Schauffele, Corey Conners, Patrick Reed, and Shane Lowry.
Michael Block — the fan-favorite club pro from Southern California — is once again making himself a story at the PGA Championship. A birdie at the par-3 fifth hole has him at 1-under, just two shots off the lead, delighting galleries at Aronimink.
Scottie Scheffler Stumbles Early in Round 2
After hitting 13-of-14 fairways in Thursday's stunning 67, Scheffler started Round 2 at 0-for-4 off the tee — including a pair of misses with a fairway wood. The PGA Tour's world No. 1 was +3 through his first four holes of Round 2, dropping from the top of the PGA leaderboard in alarming fashion.
What is perhaps most frustrating for Scheffler is that almost all of those tee shots hit the fairway before bouncing into the rough, showing how challenging it is to hold fairways at Aronimink as the course continues to firm up through the week. He has since fought back to even par for his round with birdies on 11 and 17, keeping himself within striking distance.
Rory McIlroy Round 2: Fighting to Make the Cut
Rory McIlroy posted a 4-over 74 in Round 1 and made four straight bogeys to end his day. He described his round in one word — "s**t" — and now faces an urgent fight to survive the cut at Aronimink Golf Club.
McIlroy was blunt about his driving struggles after Thursday. "I'm just not driving the ball well enough. It's been a problem all year for the most part," he said. "I miss it right, and then I want to try to correct it. And then I'll overdo it, and I'll miss it left. It's a little bit of back and forth that way. That's pretty frustrating, especially when I pride myself on driving the ball well."
Rory McIlroy Tree Complaint Backfires Spectacularly
Before the tournament began, Rory McIlroy publicly bemoaned the lack of trees around the Aronimink course, suggesting organizers were wrong to take them down. "It's basically bash driver down there and then figure it out," he said, adding that when traditional golf courses remove trees, tee-shot strategy becomes almost irrelevant.
The irony was impossible to miss when McIlroy hit his very first shot of the PGA Championship directly into a tree, with the ball ricocheting into the rough. Xander Schauffele echoed McIlroy's broader frustration, noting: "When I hear certain designers say they're restoring a course to 1915, I'm like, it probably takes a hundred years for a nice tree to grow — and now you're pulling it out just to say it was there before."
Rory McIlroy Code of Conduct Warning After Club Slam
McIlroy's conduct on the fourth tee during Round 1 drew scrutiny after he slammed his new TaylorMade Qi4D driver into the turf and appeared to shout an expletive picked up by broadcast microphones after his tee shot leaked into thick rough on the right side.
Sky Sports Golf analyst Paul McGinley suggested McIlroy could face disciplinary action under new 2026 rules brought in specifically to penalize egregious on-course temper tantrums and outbursts — rules that were introduced partly in response to McIlroy's own behavior during the 2025 season. McGinley noted McIlroy's actions were not pretty, though he added it would be incredibly harsh if strokes were added.
Aldrich Potgieter and Min Woo Lee Lead International Charge
Among the most notable names sharing the Round 2 lead entering Friday, Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa and Min Woo Lee of Australia head a strong international contingent at the top of the PGA Championship leaderboard.
Scottie Scheffler's Round 1 of 3-under 67 marked the first time in his career that he has held at least a share of the lead after the opening round at a major championship. "I think the emphasis would be share of the lead," Scheffler said. "I think there's like six or seven guys up there. It's a really tight leaderboard."
The second round began with 48 players inside three shots of the lead — the most in major championship history — setting up a chaotic and wildly competitive Friday at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
