The PGA Tour season is not yet over, despite the year being at its halfway point. Two months and one major are all that remain for the PGA Tour in 2026 to find some definition. There have been good tournaments, great finishes, redemptions, and breakthroughs, and Scottie Scheffler has been steady as he has always been.

Season Overview

Rory McIlroy became only the fourth back-to-back Masters champion, and the first since Tiger Woods in 2002. It was an example of how much freedom he felt from finally having the green jacket and the career Grand Slam. However, that’s his only win this year, and except for a late rally at Riviera, he really hasn’t come close.

The eight signature events were won by eight players, no different from last year when seven players won the seven $20 million tournaments. But a year ago, all seven winners were among the top 25 in the world when they won. This year that applied to only three winners — Collin Morikawa at Pebble Beach, Matt Fitzpatrick at Hilton Head, and Cameron Young at Doral.

Player Performances

Aaron Rai was at No. 44 when he captured his first major at the PGA Championship, and Wyndham Clark was at No. 34 when he won at Shinnecock Hills for his second U.S. Open title. There were two multiple winners of individual tournaments last year at this point — Scheffler and McIlroy. There are four this year with Clark, Young, Fitzpatrick, and Chris Gotterup.

Scottie Scheffler began his year with a four-shot victory in The American Express. Thirteen tournaments later, he still only has one victory. He still leads the PGA Tour in overall strokes gained and tee-to-green, though his numbers are down from a year ago. Scheffler has nine finishes in the top 5 in his 14 starts.
