PGA Championship Power Rankings feel a lot more honest when the course itself starts pushing back. That is the appeal of this one. The 2026 PGA Championship returns to Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square for the first time since 1962, and the old place still wears its reputation the right way. The stone clubhouse stares down the property. The greens fold and pitch. The uphill approaches keep asking for one more committed swing. Gary Player won the Wanamaker Trophy here in 1962, which gives this site real championship memory instead of borrowed nostalgia. That matters in a look ahead…

The Open power rankings should feel harsher at Royal Birkdale than they do anywhere else on the rota. This course does not flatter a player into contention. It drags him there. The 154th Open will run from July 16 through July 19, 2026, the 11th time Birkdale has staged golf’s oldest major, and the setting still feels built for interrogation. The 6th hole stretches to about 499 yards as a par 4 during The Open and plays into the prevailing wind. Then the round eventually walks toward that exposed closing stretch under the famous white clubhouse, where a clean strike…

How to Watch the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah begins with a feeling before it begins with a channel. The week already has weight. You can hear it in the name of the place and in the simple truth that team golf always starts building pressure long before the first match goes official. Medinah carries that kind of presence. It looks big on television even when nothing is happening yet. Add late September in the Chicago area, add a course that invites wide camera shots and nervous closing holes, and the event starts to feel alive before the full TV…

Scottie Scheffler at the Masters looked finished on Friday night. The leaderboard said even par. Rory McIlroy, the defending champion after his 2025 breakthrough, stood six clear of the field and 12 ahead of Scheffler. Augusta usually treats that kind of gap like a locked gate. You do not climb back through it. You wave at it from too far away and spend the weekend pretending a top 10 means something. Scheffler refused that script. He shot 65 on Saturday. He followed it with a bogey free 68 on Sunday, he erased 11 shots over two days and still watched…

Rory McIlroy vs Scottie Scheffler at Augusta still feels fresh enough to sweat through. Last Sunday has not settled into the soft blur that swallows most tournaments by Thursday. You can still hear the gallery go thin around the 18th, you can still picture the crushed pine under McIlroy’s shoes. You can still see Scheffler already finished, already waiting, already doing the one thing he does better than anyone in golf: making another man feel the full weight of a closing stretch. McIlroy entered the 2026 Masters wearing the Green Jacket he finally grabbed a year earlier, when he beat…

Rory McIlroy did not stroll into a second straight Green Jacket. He dragged it home. By sunset at Augusta National, the board looked simple enough: McIlroy at 12 under, Scheffler at 11 under, the rest of the field left to study what might have been. The tidy version stops there. The real one starts with the strain in it. McIlroy reached Sunday after blowing a record six shot halfway lead, then spent the final round trying to keep Augusta from turning the week into another old wound. He still won. He still became the first repeat Masters champion since Tiger…

Rory McIlroy’s Grand Slam reality used to sound like a question shouted through pine trees. On Sunday, it sounded like a grandstand holding its breath after a flared tee shot on 18, then letting go all at once when the bogey on the card still proved enough. McIlroy finished 12 under, beat Scottie Scheffler by one, and left Augusta with a second straight Green Jacket and the sixth major of his career. That is the clean version. The real version was messier, louder, and more revealing. Last April, he beat Justin Rose in a playoff to complete the career Grand…

A year later, Rory McIlroy at the 2025 Masters still does not feel like a clean sports memory. It feels jagged. It feels loud.,It feels like a man dragging fifteen Aprils of doubt up the last hill at Augusta National and refusing to let them slide back over him. The numbers sit neatly enough in the record book. Rory McIlroy finished at 11 under 277. He beat Justin Rose in a playoff. He became the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam, joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. Yet the texture of that…

The moment came into focus beside the 18th green, where Gerry McIlroy stood with red eyes and tight hands, watching the son who once fell apart here drag another Sunday into submission. The humidity sat heavy over Augusta National. Even Rory’s high draw looked like it had to fight through the air. A year earlier, he had finally beaten Justin Rose in a playoff to win his first Masters and complete the career Grand Slam. This time the test was meaner. He was not chasing history anymore. He was protecting it. By sunset, McIlroy had held off Scottie Scheffler, survived…
