TEES, GREENS, AND DREAMS
THE ROAD TO THE 2025 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
T
he 2025 PGA Championship is set to return to
Quail Hollow Club, where top golfers,
including defending champion Xander
Schauffele, will battle it out for glory. With Rory
McIlroy aiming for a fifth major and other stars in
contention, the stage is set for an exciting
showdown
The 2025 PGA Championship will take place from
May 12-18 at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte,
North Carolina, marking its second consecutive
hosting of the event. Known for its challenging
design, the course includes the infamous “Green
Mile” — holes 16 through 18 — where water hazards
and demanding shot-making put even the best
golfers to the test.
Xander Schauffele, the defending champion
following his win in 2024, will return to defend his
title. Schauffele secured his first major victory last
year, and his performance at Quail Hollow will be
keenly anticipated by fans and players alike.
Several top golfers are expected to contend for the
prestigious title. Four-time major winner Rory
McIlroy, who has had success at Quail Hollow in the
past, has voiced his eagerness to win again and
claim a fifth major. Alongside McIlroy, other
prominent players such as Scottie Scheffler, Bryson
DeChambeau, and Justin Thomas, who also
triumphed at this course in 2017, will be looking to
add another major to their resumes.
For UK viewers, Sky Sports will provide extensive
coverage of the tournament, offering live broadcasts
of all four rounds. The 2025 PGA Championship
promises to be an exciting event, setting the stage
for a thrilling golf season, with anticipation building
for the return of The Open Championship to Royal
Portrush later in July. Golf fans are in for an actionpacked year of major competitions, with
unforgettable moments sure to unfold.
