The odds for next year's US PGA are already out, and it is no surprise that 2025 winner Scottie Scheffler is the favourite to defend his crown at Aronimink, being priced at 5/1 almost a year in advance.

Rory McIlroy is a close second at 6/1, while the in-form Bryson DeChambeau is also in hot pursuit in the markets at 9/1, with 2024 winner Xander Schauffele drifting to 18/1.

Who won the 2025 US PGA Championship?

Scheffler won his first major title away from Augusta in this competition last year, holding off a late charge from Jon Rahm on Sunday to seal his third major honour at Quail Hollow, at a score of 11-under-par, five strokes clear of the chasing pack.

How much prize money does the US PGA Championship winner get?

In 2025, a prize pot of $19m was shared out among those who made the cut for the weekend, with the winner Scheffler receiving 18%, which equalled a whopping $3.42m, with the three players tied for second, DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley all taking home $1.42m.

Has the US PGA been held at Aronimink Golf Club before?

Aronimink Golf Club has previously hosted the US PGA, back in 1962, when the legendary Gary Player was the winner on that occasion, claiming his third major with a score of two-under-par, as Jack Nicklaus finished tied-third at one-over.

The living legend that is Nicklaus has won the US PGA more often than any other player in the modern era, claiming five of his 18 major titles in this tournament.

Nicklaus's success at the US PGA spanned almost two decades, with his first victory coming in Dallas in 1963, before claiming his fifth in 1980 at Oak Hill at the age of 40.

Tiger Woods is a close second with four wins, while Brooks Koepka has been victorious on three occasions, while Walter Hagen was the dominant force prior to the modern era, winning five times in the 1920s.
