Martin Kaymer opened the 2026 PGA Championship with a surprising first-round charge that placed him tied for the lead at 3-under-par. The performance came shortly after his wife, Irene Scholz, shared an emotional Father’s Day tribute discussing family, grief, and Kaymer’s role as a father following the recent death of her own father. Once one of golf’s biggest stars, Kaymer has spent years battling injuries, swing struggles, and fading relevance after moving to LIV Golf. His strong start Thursday suggested a player finally rediscovering both health and perspective.
