PGA Championship 2026 tee times: Full R1 pairings and UK and Ireland start times for opening round at Aronimink Golf Club

Groupings and tee times for the opening round of the 108th PGA Championship, held at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

Scottie Scheffler is the pre-tournament favourite to defend his title and claim a fifth major victory, 12 months on from posting a five-shot finish at the Quail Hollow Club, with the world No 1 on the late-early half of the draw over the first two days.

Scheffler has finished runner-up in his last three worldwide starts, including at The Masters to Rory McIlroy, with the American looking to become the first back-to-back winner of the PGA Championship since Brooks Koepka's title defence in 2019.

McIlroy is on the opposite side of the draw as he chases a second successive major, having defended his title at The Masters last month, with the Northern Irishman a previous two-time winner of the Wanamaker Trophy.

He has been grouped alongside Ryder Cup team-mate Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth, who can complete the career Grand Slam with a victory, with that marquee threeball teeing off at 8.40am local time (1.40pm UK time) on Thursday.
