McIlroy won the Wells Fargo Championship, the normal PGA Tour stop at Quail Hollow, four times in his career. Although McIlroy has slightly longer odds than Scottie Scheffler to win the Wanamaker Trophy, he has to be viewed as the favorite.

The 2025 PGA Championship returns to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The second major of the year will see 156 golfers tee up, including 29 major champions, 14 past PGA winners, three World Golf Hall of Famers, and 20 PGA of America club professionals who earned their spot via the PGA Professional Championship.
