The 2026 PGA Championship was held from 14 to 17 May 2026 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. It was only the second time the PGA Championship had been played at the course, after Gary Player's win at Aronimink in 1962, when the South African claimed his first PGA Championship title and his second of nine career majors.
The 2027 PGA Championship will be held from 17 to 23 May 2027 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Texas. The Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner-designed course only opened in May 2023 and will host a men's major for the first time, with PGA Frisco having become the headquarters of the PGA of America in 2018 after the organisation relocated from Palm Beach Gardens in Florida.
The 2027 edition will be the first men's major to be played in Texas since the 1969 US Open at Champions Golf Club in Houston, and the first PGA Championship in Texas since 1968 at the now-defunct Pecan Valley Golf Club in San Antonio. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has not hosted a men's major since Jack Nicklaus won the 1963 PGA Championship at Dallas Athletic Club, making the 2027 PGA Championship a historic homecoming for North Texas golf.
2026 PGA Championship Recap: Aaron Rai's Aronimink Heroics
The 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club produced one of the great longshot stories in modern major championship history. Aaron Rai, the 31-year-old from Wolverhampton, England, entered the tournament priced at 150-1 in most outright markets and left Aronimink as the Wanamaker Trophy winner after a sensational closing 65 (5-under) to finish 9-under par for the tournament.
Rai started the final round two shots back of leader Alex Smalley but played his final 10 holes in 6-under par to surge clear of a packed leaderboard. Defending world number one Scottie Scheffler had jointly led the tournament after the first round but ultimately faded over the weekend. Jon Rahm and Alex Smalley finished tied for second at 6-under, three strokes behind Rai.
Rai's win was historically significant on multiple fronts. He became the first Englishman to lift the Wanamaker Trophy since Jim Barnes in 1919, ending a 107-year wait for an English PGA Championship winner. Barnes had also won the inaugural PGA Championship in 1916, meaning Rai is one of only two Englishmen ever to win the title in the tournament's 108-year history. Rai also became the second player of Indian heritage to win a men's major championship, following Vijay Singh, and only the eighth Englishman to win any men's major since 1940.
Rai earned $3.69 million from a record $20.5 million prize purse, the largest in PGA Championship history. The win also delivered five-year exemptions into the Masters, US Open, Open Championship and The Players, plus a seven-year DP World Tour membership.
