Several players express frustration with the course set-up at Aronimink as the PGA Championship gets underway. Coverage notes that both Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are among those irritated by the conditions, with criticism focused on how the course is being prepared for play. While one report characterizes the controversy as “absurd,” the underlying issue described across outlets is the way key aspects of the set-up are affecting scoring and shot-making, prompting complaints from players. Despite the criticism, the reports also indicate that competitive play continues and that at least McIlroy and Scheffler remain in contention, with Scheffler reported as well placed and McIlroy back in contention. The reporting frames the dispute around player experience during the early stages of the tournament rather than decision-making after the fact, and it centers on frustration at the current preparation rather than on alleged misconduct. The PGA Championship continues under the same conditions, and players are still adapting their strategy as rounds progress.
