Main Line Health named healthcare provider for the 2026 PGA Championship
BRYN MAWR, Pa. — When the world's best golfers tee it up at the 2026 PGA Championship on May 11–17, Main Line Health will be on the ground at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square — ready to deliver the same high-quality care it provides to the communities it serves across the Philadelphia area.
Main Line Health has been named the healthcare provider of the 2026 PGA Championship, one of golf's four major Championships, which will welcome approximately 200,000 spectators to the Philadelphia region and reach a global audience.
Main Line Health will deliver comprehensive on-site medical coverage throughout Championship Week, with physicians, nurses and advanced practice providers staffing medical stations across the course to support players, caddies, spectators, volunteers and staff. Its clinical team will provide a full range of services, including emergency medicine, sports medicine and first aid, helping ensure a safe and seamless experience for everyone on site.
"The health and safety of everyone on the grounds is our highest priority during Championship Week, and having Main Line Health as our healthcare provider gives us tremendous confidence," said Jackie Endsley, Championship Director of the 2026 PGA Championship. "Their clinical expertise and deep roots in the surrounding community make them the ideal partner to deliver the level of care this event demands."
Ed Jimenez, President and CEO of Main Line Health, said partnering with one of golf's premier major championships is an ideal fit for the System, which has four acute care hospitals in the region — Lankenau Medical Center, Bryn Mawr Hospital, Paoli Hospital and Riddle Hospital.
"Main Line Health has been part of the fabric of this community for generations, and the PGA Championship coming to Aronimink — right in our own backyard — is a remarkable moment for the entire Philadelphia area," Jimenez said. "We are proud to bring our physicians, nurses and advanced practice providers to Championship Week and to ensure that everyone from the athletes to the spectators has access to the exceptional care that defines who we are."
Main Line Health stations will be located by the main medical tent next to the PGA Shops, and between holes 1 and 2 at Aronimink.
