Aaron Rai pulled off one of the great upsets in major championship history, winning the 108th PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club by 3 strokes after entering the week at 290-1 odds. The English-born golfer becomes the first from England to win the event in over a century, collecting a five-year PGA Tour exemption plus lifetime invitations to the Masters and other majors.

Smalley tied for second at 6 under alongside Jon Rahm after recovering from a front-nine collapse with an eagle on 16 and birdie on 18. Rahm's T-2 marked his strongest major showing since his 2023 Masters victory, though he couldn't close the gap. Smalley's top-four finish earns him his first Masters appearance and a spot at the 2027 PGA Championship in Frisco.

Bryson DeChambeau extended his miserable run in majors, missing the cut by three strokes after rounds of 76-71. His iron play was a liability, costing him .220 strokes on approach, and he became the first player to miss consecutive majors since 2017. LIV Golf's uncertain future hangs over the tour—DeChambeau is in his final year and will become a free agent. Rai's victory plus the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in June will shape how much he capitalizes on this moment.
