156 Players Compete at 2025 PGA Championship Quail Hollow

The 2025 PGA Championship will be held at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 15-18, featuring a full field of 156 players competing for a $20 million purse. The field includes top golfers such as defending champion Xander Schauffele, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Masters champion Rory McIlroy, and other major champions, with 49 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking expected to participate. Quail Hollow, known for its challenging layout with lengthy par 4s and thick Bermuda rough, has historically demanded all-around excellence in driving, approach, short game, and putting to contend under major conditions. Rory McIlroy, fresh off completing the career Grand Slam, is among the favorites alongside Scheffler, who recently won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and is in good form. The field also includes notable players from LIV Golf like Patrick Reed and Dustin Johnson, adding intrigue to the competition. The final two spots in the field were awarded to Ryan Fox and Michael Thorbjornsen, with the tournament attracting a deep and competitive roster including 29 major champions and several Ryder Cup captains.
