The 2026 PGA Championship gets underway this week at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, with Scottie Scheffler back to defend the Wanamaker Trophy after winning by five strokes a year ago. Rory McIlroy arrives after completing the Masters, Jordan Spieth is chasing the career Grand Slam, and the first shots will set the tone for a crowded major week.
For viewers, the schedule is spread across the App, and CBS. Coverage runs Tuesday and Wednesday from 12-3 p.m. ET on the App, Friday Main Feed Coverage from 6:45 a.m.-12 p.m. ET on the App, Friday Round 2 coverage from 12-8 p.m. ET on, and third-round and final-round coverage Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET on and 1-7 p.m. ET on CBS.
The featured groups give the opening rounds a clear shape. Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose are set for 2:05 p.m. ET Thursday and 8:40 a.m. ET Friday. McIlroy, Spieth and Jon Rahm are in a featured group at 8:40 a.m. ET Thursday and 2:05 p.m. ET Friday. Gary Woodland, Jason Day and Sam Burns are scheduled for 7:34 a.m. ET Thursday and 12:59 p.m. ET Friday.
That makes this week more than a title defense. Scheffler is trying to repeat at a major where he already proved he can separate from the field, while McIlroy and Spieth bring the cleanest storylines into a championship that has both recent form and old unfinished business on the same tee sheet.
Aronimink now becomes the backdrop for all of it, with the week’s biggest names arriving in a compact window and the television schedule built to follow them from the first featured tee times through Sunday’s final round. If the championship delivers on its billing, the leaderboard should have as much star power as the opening pairings.
