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.

5. Xander Schauffele - 14/1
American Xander Schauffele has failed to match his remarkable 2024 season when he won both the USPGA and the Open. He's looking for a third major, having also won a gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He's priced at 14/1 to do that very thing at this year's USPGA Championship. | Getty Images

6. Ludvig Aberg - 16/1
Sweden's Ludvig Åberg only turned professional in June 2023 and has already won titles on both the European Tour and the PGA Tour - as well as coming second in 2024's Masters and being part of a winning European Ryder Cup team. Surely it's only a matter of time before he makes his major breakthrough. The bookies have him priced at 16/1 for the title. | Getty Images

7. Matt Fitzpatrick - 20/1
2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick is a 20/1 shot for this year's USPGA. The Englishman is a former U.S. Amateur winner who has also triumphed five times on the PGA Tour. | Getty Images

8. Tommy Fleetwood - 22/1
English golfer Tommy Fleetwood has yet to win a major, despite claiming top five places in all four. He's won eight times on the European Tour, once on the PGA Tour and claimed a silver medal at the 2024 Olympic Games. He's 22/1 to finally make a breakthrough at this year's USPGA. | Getty Images
