PGA Tour Brunch | The 2025 PGA
Preview of the 2025 PGA Championship | Quail Hollow, NC
By TERRY LYONS, Editor of Digital Sports Desk
CHARLOTTE - Quail Hollow Club will host the PGA Championship for the second time. The previous PGA tournament was back in 2017, and it was won by Justin Thomas.
The field is headlined by 49 of the Top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, with only Billy Horschel missing because of hip surgery. The players are headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, No. 2 Rory McIlroy, No. 3 Xander Schauffele, No. 4 Collin Morikawa and No. 5 Justin Thomas.
International players have won 14 of the first 22 events this season: Hideki Matsuyama/Japan, Nick Taylor/Canada, Sepp Straka/Austria/twice, Rory McIlroy/Northern Ireland/three times, Thomas Detry/Belgium, Ludvig Ã…berg/Sweden, Karl Vilips/Australia, Viktor Hovland/Norway, Min Woo Lee/Australia, Garrick Higgo/South Africa, Ryan Fox/New Zealand.
Quail Hollow certainly plays to McIlroy. The reigning 2025 Masters Tournament champion and World No. 2 is a four-time winner at Quail Hollow Club, winning the Carolina’s Truist Championship in 2010, 2015, 2021 and 2024.

TL’s Wedge for an Edge: The second major of the 2025 season provides for one of the strongest fields of the season, and that includes some great golfers from the LIV Golf Tour. No reason to not go with the big boys. Let’s start: Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau (LIV) and Quail Hollow legend and Masters champion Rory McIlroy. Reserves? Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg. … For One and Done, it makes perfect sense to go with the limited entries of LIV’s DeChambeau.
