The 2025 PGA Championship takes place from May 15–18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina — a parkland course famed for its demanding “Green Mile” closing stretch. Known for its lightning-fast greens, punishing rough, and tight fairways, this layout is set to challenge the very best in the game.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele, who led from start to finish in 2024, returns to defend his title. He’ll be joined by 29 past major winners, including Rory McIlroy — a four-time Quail Hollow winner and two-time PGA Championship victor — and Brooks Koepka, who has claimed this title three times.
The field is stacked: 99 of the world’s top 100 players are competing. With so many arriving in red-hot form, it promises to be a thrilling week of action.
Rory McIlroy – 5/1 PaddyPower (EW 8 Places)
Rory enters this event in strong form and boasts a sensational record at Quail Hollow, having already won here four times in his career. He’s also a two-time PGA Championship winner, and this week could see him lift his sixth career major. Given his course pedigree and recent form, Rory looks a serious contender.
Patrick Cantlay – 28/1 Betfair (EW 12 Places)
Cantlay showed promising form last week, finishing T4 at the Truist Championship with rounds of 65, 68, 70, and 65. A proven eight-time PGA Tour winner, he’s still chasing his first major title — and with Betfair offering 12 each-way places, this looks like solid value in a deep field.
Corey Conners – 40/1 Betfair (EW 12 Places)
The Canadian is having a great year with five Top 10 finishes in 2025 and a strong T11 at the Truist Championship last week. Currently ranked 21st in the Official World Golf Rankings, Conners is peaking at the right time. Add in his course form — finishes of 13th and 8th in his last two visits to Quail Hollow — and you’ve got a dark horse worth backing.
