Rory McIlroy feels he is “right in the tournament” after an impressive second round pulled him to within five shots of the halfway lead at the US PGA Championship.
After two rounds at the 2026 PGA Championship, no one has separated themselves from the pack, and there are 58 players within six shots of the lead. As a result, Scottie Scheffler, two shots off the lead, remains the favorite at +340, only marginally shorter than the +385 at which he came into the tournament. Cameron Young, a notable public pick and sportsbook liability who is also two shots back, comes in next on the odds board at +970.
