PGA of America: Gary Player return to Aronimink and current course profile
- Aronimink Golf Club
  The PGA firsthand Player account identifies his 1962 PGA victory at Aronimink and his 2026 return. The official course profile dates the move from Drexel Hill to the Newtown Square property to 1926; the owner guest guide independently lists 1962 and the planned 2026 PGA, and the completed 2026 PGA result confirms the latter occurred. Both events belong to the Newtown Square course, not a former club property. No unchanged routing is asserted.
