The season’s second major is almost here and the story lines could not be stacked up any better for the PGA Championship.
Rory McIlroy, of course, is one month removed from a cathartic Masters win, slaying the biggest demon of his career to become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. Getting halfway to a true Grand Slam seems quite doable, given his four-win résumé in PGA Tour events at Quail Hollow, and oddsmakers agree—the world No. 2 is the second betting favorite.
The first is Scottie Scheffler, whose 2025 so far hasn’t been the smash hit that 2024 was, though that’s an unfair comparison. His romp two weeks ago at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson shows the two-time Masters champ is well in form to chase a third major title.
McIlroy’s career Grand Slam shines a brighter light on Jordan Spieth’s continuing attempt, he only lacks the PGA and has also shown some form in recent weeks.
And that’s just three of the 156 players in what is usually the strongest field of the four majors, even with 20 club professionals in the field. The PGA traditionally takes nearly all of the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking who aren’t otherwise exempt.
There were a few surprises among the PGA’s invitations, though LIV Golf’s Patrick Reed and Dustin Johnson are past major champions and Rickie Fowler is a fan favorite.
Here is the full list of players who will tee it up at Quail Hollow.
