Featured Groups include Scheffler, McIlroy and Young at Aronimink

Starting times have been released for Thursday and Friday and the featured groups at Aronimink will definitely make for must-see TV.

Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Tyrrell Hatton kick things off Thursday morning when they start the 108th PGA Championship at 8:29 a.m. ET and then head out at 1:54 p.m. on Friday.

Schauffele, No. 11 in the Official World Golf Ranking, won the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club and has four top-12 finishes in his last five PGA TOUR starts, including a T9 at the Masters.

Koepka is a three-time PGA Champion with victories in 2018, 2019 and 2023. He tied for 12th at the Masters and tied for 11th last week in Myrtle Beach.

Hatton enters this week following a T3 at the Masters, his best finish in a major. He finished 17th last week at LIV Golf Virginia.

The second featured group on Thursday is headlined by Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm. The trio tees off at 8:40 a.m. on Thursday and 2:05 p.m. on Friday.

McIlroy, currently No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking, completed the career Grand Slam at the 2025 Masters and followed it up with a second green jacket in April.

Spieth can complete his own career Grand Slam – which would make him just the seventh player in men’s golf history to do so – with a win at Aronimink.

Rahm has had a stellar season on LIV with top 10s in all seven of his starts, highlighted by two wins. He finished T38 in the Masters. A win at Aronimink for Rahm, however, would be the first by a Spanish player and complete a Spanish Grand Slam when combined with his 2021 U.S. Open win, 2023 Masters win, Masters wins by Sergio Garcia, Jose Maria Olazabal and Seve Ballesteros, who also won three Open Championships.

The first featured group of the afternoon on Thursday is Cameron Young, Keegan Bradley and Justin Thomas.

Young, currently the world No. 3, is in the midst of a breakthrough season, having won the Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship (a six-stroke victory over Scottie Scheffler). He also tied for third at the Masters.

Bradley – the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain – has found some form lately. After a T21 in the Masters, he tied for 12th at the RBC Heritage and tied for 19th last week in the Truist Championship. Bradley also won the 2018 BMW Championship, which was the last time an event was contested at Aronimink.

Thomas is a two-time PGA Champion (2017 and 2022) and is currently ranked No. 16 in the world. His season got off to a late start as he recovered from a microdiscectomy in November 2025 to repair a back/disc issue that caused severe and lingering hip pain. He didn’t play his first tournament until March, missing the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He tied for eighth the following week at the Players Championship and comes to Aronimink after and a 13th-place finish last week in the Truist Championship.

Thursday’s final featured group includes defending PGA Champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, World No. 4 Matt Fitzpatrick and World No. 7 Justin Rose. They tee off at 2:05 p.m. on Thursday and 8:40 a.m. on Friday.

Scheffler opened the season with a victory at the American Express and has runner-up finishes in each of his last three starts, including the Masters.

Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, has the most PGA Tour wins in 2026 with three – all coming since the end of March. He won the Valspar Championship, followed by a playoff win over Scheffler at the RBC Heritage, then teamed up with his brother, Alex, to win the Zurich Classic. Fitzpatrick was also runner-up at the Players Championship and tied for 18th in the Masters.

Rose rounds out the threesome. The Englishman won the Farmers Insurance Open in January and tied for third in the Masters. He’s also won at Aronimink, taking the 2010 AT&T National and his lone major win – the 2011 U.S. Open – came at Merion, a 30-minute drive from Aronimink.

Here’s a look at the full list of pairings for the 108th PGA Championship.
