CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Masters champion Rory McIlroy and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be playing together in the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship, joined by defending champion Xander Schauffele in another group of the top three players in the world.

The world No. 1 has never played the Truist Championship, in preference for the Dallas-swing events which are hometown tournaments for him. He also didn’t play the ’17 PGA Championship and didn’t have his best stuff at the ’22 Presidents Cup, where he went 0-3-1.

Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 golfer, is trending in the right direction as he gets reacquainted with Quail Hollow.

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will steal the headlines, but there are some unsung players that have a good chance to lift the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday.

Already sold out for Friday and Saturday of the PGA Championship, fans can still get to Quail Hollow Golf Club for this week’s main event.

The second major of the 2025 golf season has arrived with plenty of players looking to set a tone for the remainder of the campaign. While no one enters with particular pressure on their shoulders, Rory McIlroy will be looking to become the first golfer since 2015 to win the first two major championships of the year.
