Overview
- Rory McIlroy cut a planned practice to three holes on Tuesday because of a blister on the pinky toe of his right foot, removing the toenail to treat it.
- He was back on course Wednesday, practicing without a visible limp and remaining set for an 8:40 a.m. Thursday start alongside Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters as the defending champion and pre‑tournament favorite in a deep field of major winners and contenders.
- Aronimink is set up as a 7,394‑yard par‑70 with several holes lengthened, and players say the large, heavily contoured greens will punish poor placement.
- Americans have won the last 10 PGA Championships, a run McIlroy seeks to interrupt after his Masters title defense last month.
