Sudarshan Yellamaraju was the last golfer added by the PGA of America to 2026 PGA Championship field. He was the first alternate but got in the field after Brandt Snedeker nabbed the 155th spot in the 156-man field after winning on Sunday at the Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic.
With Kris Reitan, the winner of the Tour's signature event, the Truist, already in the PGA, one final name was needed and Yellamaraju was it.
That moved everyone else on the alternates list up a spot, and now each will wait to see if there's anymore withdrawals at Aronimink.
The PGA field will have 15 former PGA champions as well as 29 major winners, 20 PGA of America Golf Professionals and the U.S. captain for the upcoming Presidents Cup. It will also have no amateurs, the lone major to have an all-professional field.
The above list is as of 1:30 p.m. on Monday. PGA Championship is May 14-17.
