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

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Scottie Scheffler practically had the course to himself when he arrived a day early at the PGA Championship, a time to get reacquainted with Quail Hollow. He had played it only at the Presidents Cup in 2022 when the holes were a little out of order because of the format.

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.
