Shane Lowry, who triumphed in 2019, the last time the tournament was held at Royal Portrush, will also be among the favorites.Masters of 2026

Scottie Scheffler will try to defend his 2025 title from May 14 to 17 next year at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. It will be the second time that this 129-year-old course hosts the PGA Championship, the first being in 1962, with Gary Player as the winner.US Open 2026
The 2026 U.S. Open will be played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. J.J. Spaun, winner of the 2025 Open at Oakhurst, will seek to repeat as champion.
