Luke Donald, Ryan Fox Lead Early PGA Championship Round 1 at Quail Hollow

The 2025 PGA Championship is underway at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, featuring top contenders like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele. Rory McIlroy, having recently completed the career grand slam with his Masters win, is seeking to start the year strong with a major victory at a course where he has previously excelled. Early leaders after the first round include European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, Alex Smalley, New Zealand's Ryan Fox, and Germany's Stephan Jaeger, all shooting 4-under-par 67s, while World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler posted a 69. The tournament has attracted a strong field, including defending champion Schauffele and several other major winners, with a mix of favorable weather but soggy fairways due to recent rain. The championship promises an exciting competition given the presence of multiple recent major winners and notable rivalries, with live updates and tee times closely followed by fans and media.
