The 2026 USPGA Championship (or simply the PGA Championship to those on the other side of the Atlantic) will be kicking off at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, this Thursday (May 14) - the 108th edition of the major.
It’s the second major of the year, with Rory McIlroy memorably claiming the first by defending the Masters title he won in 2025.
Now the weight of completing his career major grand slam is off his shoulders he’ll be hungry to add to his six major haul - with two USPGA trophies already bagged (in 2012 and 2014).
If he does he’ll be the first non-American to win the tournament since Aussie Jason Day way back in 2015.
But there are no shortage of Americans hoping to triumph, led by world number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who came second to McIlroy in Augusta and will be looking for revenge.
Here are all 12 favourites for the title - and what they’ve won previously.

The current world number one (a position he has held for over three years) has won four majors to date - the 2022 and 2024 Masters, the 2025 Open, and last year's USPGA. | Getty Images

2. Rory McIlroy - 8/1
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy finally ended his 10 year major drought by memorably winning the Masters last year - completing his career grand slam. He then returned to Augusta to repeat the trick this year and is now looking for his second major on the trot. He's priced at 8/1 to win his third USPGA, having previously triumphed in 2012 and 2014. | Getty Images
