Andy Johnson is once again joined by Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna for a comprehensive preview of the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The three follow a traditional "ten things" format for this preview episode, each bringing three storylines to watch at the year's second men's major. They discuss the Wednesday press conference from a new-look PGA of America, Cameron Young's chances to push into a "Big Three" with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, and what to expect from Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm after a tumultuous few weeks for LIV Golf. To end this episode, Andy, Kevin, and Joseph each give their pick to win the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday, May 17th.
