Golf Majors News
The PGA Championship returns to Aronimink Golf Club for the first time since Gary Player's triumph back in 1962. Golf Today takes a look at the possible contenders at the second major of the year.
golftoday.co.ukI can share a concise update on the latest in men’s major golf championships.
Core answer
- As of May 2026, the four men's majors are the Masters (Augusta National, typically April), the PGA Championship (May/June, rotating venue), the U.S. Open (June, rotating venue), and The Open Championship (July, rotating venue). There have been ongoing discussions about the status, venues, and contenders for each major, with frequent coverage of winners, course setups, and qualification criteria across the season. For the very latest winner(s) and standings, please check the current-year leaderboards and official tournament sites.
Context and quick pointers
- Masters: Traditionally held in April at Augusta National. Look for updates on the field, weather implications, and notable early-round leaders as the tournament unfolds each spring. (Examples: course conditions, Amen Corner dynamics, and Masters-specific traditions.)
- PGA Championship: Usually the second major of the year, with a rotating course. For 2026, fans often track early favorites, course setup, and weekend surges from top players.
- U.S. Open: Known for strict layout/rough, demanding setups, and strong USGA course tests. Expect close leaderboard battles and potential national-interest stories around local qualifiers.
- The Open: The oldest major, staged at a variety of links courses worldwide. Weather and wind often play pivotal roles; watching the Open’s international venues is key for understanding major outcomes.
Where to get the latest
- Official tournament websites and live leaderboards for each major.
- Golf media outlets (Golf Channel, Golf Digest, Golf.com, ESPN golf). They typically post round-by-round coverage, player interviews, and analysis.
- National/international sports news outlets for broader context and breaking stories.
