The 2025 PGA Championship returns this week to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina — a course known for its narrow fairways, fast greens, and the punishing “Green Mile” closing stretch. It’s a layout that demands precision and patience, setting the stage for a dramatic week of major championship golf from Thursday, May 15, through Sunday, May 18.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele is back, looking to defend his title after clinching his first major win at the 2024 PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his career Grand Slam at The Masters, heads into the week with confidence, having already tasted victory at Quail Hollow. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, fresh off a win at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, will be a factor. Scheffler made headlines at last year’s PGA Championship when he was briefly arrested outside Valhalla Golf Club. The charges were later dropped, and he went on to shoot an impressive 66 in the second round. Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major champion coming off a strong performance at Augusta, remains a wildcard capable of seizing the moment.
Justin Thomas, who won his first PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in 2017, has been rounding into form with six top-ten finishes this season, including a recent win at RBC Heritage. With a deep field of seasoned pros and rising stars, this year’s championship is set to deliver plenty of drama.
Whether you’re locked into your living room setup or streaming on the go, here’s how to catch every shot, clutch putt, and Sunday charge.
