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

Rory McIlroy finally spoke on his Sunday pairing with Bryson DeChambeau at The Masters after the LIV Golf star said he and the eventual champion didn't speak.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There was a moment during Rory McIlroy’s Wednesday press conference at Quail Hollow that illustrated how he has morphed from a man who needs to a man who wants.

The 2025 PGA Championship returns to Quail Hollow in Charlotte for the second major of the golf season. This North Carolina course last hosted in 2017 when Justin Thomas won by two strokes, and as luck would have it for J.T., he's playing some of his best golf of the last few years entering this edition of the tournament.

Everyone is excited to see if Rory McIlroy can follow up his memorable and historic Masters victory, which gave him the career Grand Slam. Now, the Northern Irishman looks to capture the PGA Championship title for the first time since 2014.

Only one other — Sergio Garcia — played the Masters more times before winning. No other player went 11 years before getting the final leg of the Grand Slam. The emotion pouring out of McIlroy that Sunday at Augusta National captured the essence of dreams coming true.
