Truist Championship 2026: Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young lead sixth signature event field

PGA Tour confident purse sizes will increase: Source
Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard provides an update on the future of PGA Tour's purse sizes and its schedule amid news that the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has divested from LIV Golf.

Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young are plenty familiar after sharing the spotlight at Augusta last month.

McIlroy leads the field at Quail Hollow Club, a five-time winner in Charlotte and fresh off his back-to-back green jacket wins. Young, his runner-up at the Masters, also headlines the field after a stellar start to the season.

The 2026 Players champ is currently leading in Doral by multiple strokes, after shooting an 8-under 64 in Thursday’s opening round.

Matthew Fitzpatrick, Ludvig Åberg and Xander Schauffele are among the Tour elite joining McIlroy in North Carolina, after a week of rest.

The most notable absence for the Tour’s sixth signature event of the year will be Scottie Scheffler, who earlier this week spoke about getting rest ahead of the 2026 PGA Championship.

Here’s the field as of Friday, May 1:

Tony Finau, Max Homa and Mackenzie Hughes are playing sponsor exemptions, while the alternate field includes Michael Thorbjornsen and Kristoffer Reitan.

Thorbjornsen and Reitan slid into the Cadillac field this week, after Patrick Cantlay and Jake Knapp withdrew.

Brooks Koepka is also an option as alternate next week. He has been prepared for the last two signature events at Hilton Head and Doral.

Brooks Koepka again found himself playing the waiting game as the first alternate at the PGA Tour’s signature event in Miami Thursday.
