Michael Brennan had secured his spot at the PGA Championship 2026 after winning the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship. The American golfer registered a four-stroke win at the recently concluded fall season PGA Tour event. It was his maiden win on the circuit.

He played the event on a sponsor exemption and, with the win, has secured a PGA Tour card through the 2027 season. Moreover, he earned $1.08 million in prize money for his victory and qualified for The Players Championship for the next year.

Michael Brennan has only played in a major once in his career so far. He competed at the US Open in 2023 and played two rounds of 74 and 75, struggling to make the cut. Next year, he would be looking forward to making his debut at the PGA Championship.

Brennan started his campaign at the 2025 Bank of Utah event with an opening round of 67 before he carded 65 in the next round. He played the final two rounds of 64 and 66 to register a four-stroke win in the game.

Aside from Michael Brennan, Fifa Laopakdee has earned his spot in the majors after he won the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship on Sunday. He secured his spot for the Masters and the Open Championship.
