Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, PA — May 14, 2026
The 2026 PGA Championship teed off this morning at Aronimink Golf Club. Only 33 golfers posted a score with a red number on the Par 70 challenging layout. The lowest total score for day one was a 67, and seven golfers matched that number. Including the favorite, Scottie Scheffler. He and six lesser-known players are all tied atop the leaderboard.
It was the first time Scheffler had held a share of the first-round lead in a major. That could mean big trouble for the rest of the field.
Other familiar names are included in the group at 2-under. Shane Lowery, Xander Schauffele, and Patrick Reed. At 1-under, the list includes Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Brooks Koepka, and Jon Rahm.
Where’s Rory? McIlroy sits at 4-over, tied for 105th place. Very much in danger of missing the cut on Friday. The world’s #2 player was even par after his first nine holes (10-18). McIlroy carried that score to par for five more holes and then finished the day with four straight bogeys.
Just as shocking was Bryson DeChambeau posting a score of 6-over par. Without a miracle round on Friday, DeChambeau won’t be around for the remainder of the weekend.The entire leaderboard is posted below, all 156 players. So you have to scroll a bit to find your favorites.
