The second golf major of the season is right around the corner, as the 2025 PGA Championship begins on Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler picked up his first win of the season at the CJ Cup last week and joins Rory McIlroy atop the 2025 PGA Championship odds at +500.

Jordan Spieth has never stopped dreaming of a career Grand Slam, and Rory McIlroy's triumph at Augusta National has only inspired him to make it happen.

The Quail Hollow Country Club is the venue for the 2025 edition of one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments, with Rory McIlroy the headliner as he looks to build on winning his first Green Jacket at August last month.

McIlroy, who has been tipped by Jordan Spieth as altering his grand slam pursuit narrative, boasts an impressive track record at Quail Hollow. Meanwhile, Schauffele, who is set to host his champions dinner complete with a special gift this week, captured two major titles last year, making their group the centre of attention.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Masters champion Rory McIlroy and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be playing together in the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship, joined by defending champion Xander Schauffele in another group of the top three players in the world.

Only Ben Hogan (1953), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Tiger Woods (2002) and Jordan Spieth (2015) have won the first two majors of the calendar year. So, can Rory win again 15 years after securing his maiden PGA Tour title at the venue?

Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 golfer, is trending in the right direction as he gets reacquainted with Quail Hollow.

McIlroy, of course, is coming off a win at the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam. Scheffler won last year’s Masters and won for the first time in 2025 in resounding style two weeks ago at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his hometown event. Schauffele is the defending PGA champion and also won the British Open last July.

Jordan Spieth will attempt (for the ninth time) to win his fourth different major this weekend at the PGA Championship.
