Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 ranked golfer, looks to win his second consecutive PGA Championship as well as his second tournament of the year when he takes part in the 2026 PGA Championship. Scheffler is looking to become the first back-to-back PGA Championship winner since Brooks Koepka did it in 2018 and 2019. Tiger Woods, who is not in the field this year, was a back-to-back winner twice, doing so in 1999 and 2000 and in 2006 and 2007. Scheffler won last year's event by five strokes over Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau and Davis Riley.
Action from Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa., begins on Thursday. Scheffler enters as the +480 favorite at the 2026 PGA Championship. Other favorites include Rory McIlroy (+850), Cameron Young (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1300) and Xander Schauffele (+1600).
