Watch PGA Championship 2026 live streams as Scottie Scheffler, reigning holder of the Wanamaker Trophy, will once again be the player with the crosshair on his back. The world number one and 155 players gather at the Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania for the 108th edition of the tournament.
Here we explain how you can watch PGA Championship 2026 golf without cable and from anywhere with a VPN
The 2026 PGA Championship takes place from Thursday, May 14 to Sunday, May 17
► Thursday start time (approx): 6:45 a.m. ET. / 3:45 a.m. PT / 11:45 a.m. BST / 8:45 p.m. AEST

The New Jersey native cruised to his third of four major victories at Quail Hollow a year ago, going around the final 18 in level par to win by a dominant five shots. Now he'll have to tame the 7,394-yard Aronimink — a challenging round that, with its elusive fairways and 175 dastardly positioned bunkers, ranks among Golf Digest's toughest courses. It's 64 years since the tournament was hosted here, too.
Having sealed his second straight Masters in style last month, Rory McIlroy will be be seen by many as the man most likely to stop Scottie this week. Cameron Young shouldn't be too far off the pace after an impressive showing at Augusta, while LIV rebel Jon Rahm will want to remind golf fans what he brings to the tee. And former holders of the Wanamaker Trophy like Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas will all be eager to get their hands on it again.
