The 2026 PGA Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Aaron Rai, who earned the PGA Tour win in the event at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

Rai won the tournament for his first-career major championship, winning the Wanamaker trophy with a three-shot win on 9-under 271. Rai shot 65 in the final round, marking his lowest score ever in a major championship to earn his second-career PGA Tour title.

Rai made an eagle 3 on the par-5 ninth to really get his round going, shooting 4-under 31 on the final nine holes, including a 68-foot, 5-inch birdie putt on the par-3 17th that set him up to win.

Jon Rahm and 54-hole leader Alex Smalley finished tied for second place on 6-under total.

Rai won the $3,690,000 winner's share of the $20,500,000 purse.
