Picks for even more 2025 PGA Championship golfers and the PGA Championship favorite to win ahead of the year's second major at 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.

Rory McIlroy will soon be heading Down Under. The reigning Masters champion has confirmed he will play in this year's Australian Open – the nation's top golf tournament. He has also committed to the 2026 event.

Thanks to top-ranked golf instructor Kelvin Kelley, you can learn the secret to shaping golf shots like Rory McIlroy did at this year’s Masters Tournament.

Smylie Kaufman, a well-known golf figure, spoke during 'The Smylie Show' about the favorites to win, stressing that Scottie Scheffler has the greatest chances to win

DeChambeau and McIlroy made up the last group in the final round of the Masters last month and it was McIlroy who overcame a double bogey on the first hole to eventually beat Justin Rose in a play-off and complete the career grand slam.

For Rory McIlroy, his has usually been to make a trip to Charlotte and turn down Gleneagles Road to Quail Hollow Golf Club.  It was here in 2010 that McIlroy underlined his arrival on the PGA Tour, winning his first title to a delightful Jim Nantz flourish from the commentary booth.
