The 108th PGA Championship takes place at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania from May 14 to 17, 2026, with all rounds broadcast in the Eastern Daylight Time zone (UTC-4).
Aronimink is a name that casual fans may not recognize, but the course has a pedigree that runs deep. Designed by Donald Ross in 1928 and later refined by Dick Wilson, it is a par 70 layout stretching 7,267 yards through the rolling terrain of Philadelphia’s western suburbs. The course hosted the 1962 PGA Championship, the 2003 and 2010 Senior PGA Championships, and the 2018 BMW Championship, where the quality of the conditioning and the challenge of the layout earned widespread praise from the best players in the world.
Ross courses are defined by their greens, and Aronimink is no exception. The putting surfaces are crowned, tilted, and shaped in ways that punish imprecise approach play. Missing the correct section of a green here often means a bogey, regardless of how close the ball appears to the pin. The fairways are generous enough to encourage aggressive driving, but the penalty for missing greens makes accuracy with irons the decisive skill.
The PGA Championship has always been the most workmanlike of the four majors. No invitation-only mystique, no links golf in coastal wind, no USGA setup designed to humiliate. It is a pure test of professional golf on a demanding course, and the field is among the strongest in the game.
For European viewers, the EDT timezone places afternoon coverage in late evening, similar to The Masters. Final-round action from around 14:00 EDT hits 20:00 in Central Europe. Asian and Australian fans face early-morning starts, with 14:00 EDT translating to 03:00 in Tokyo and 04:00 in Sydney.
Aronimink gives the PGA Championship something it thrives on: a course with genuine teeth, set in a region with deep golf history, and a layout that rewards complete players over one-dimensional power.
