The second round of the 2026 PGA Championship is set, and the leaderboard at Aronimink Golf Club remains crowded heading into Friday’s action.

Scottie Scheffler opened his title defense with a 3-under 67 on Thursday, joining a seven-way tie for the lead. Scheffler now returns Friday morning looking to separate himself from the pack before the weekend begins.

Meanwhile, several other major stars enter Round 2 trying to climb back into contention — including Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, who both finished outside the top 100 after Thursday’s opening round.

Wind Conditions Could Impact Friday Afternoon at Aronimink

Conditions at Aronimink Golf Club played softer during Thursday’s opening round after overnight rain left receptive greens across the Donald Ross-designed course.

Players frequently saw approach shots stop quickly or spin backward after landing, helping create lower scores throughout much of the day.

That could change Friday, according to weather.com:

Weather forecasts call for dry conditions for the rest of the tournament, with temperatures expected to rise into the 80s over the weekend.

Friday’s forecast includes a mix of clouds and sun, with wind becoming more noticeable as the day progresses. Morning gusts are expected around 18 mph before climbing closer to 24 mph later in the afternoon.
