If you’re not satisfied with the storylines heading into the 2025 PGA Championship, then golf probably isn’t your thing. Entering the second men’s major championship of the year, there are so many plots and subplots to follow at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., we're afraid we might run out of energy just typing them.

The Quail Hollow Country Club is the venue for the 2025 edition of one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments, with Rory McIlroy the headliner as he looks to build on winning his first Green Jacket at August last month.

The 107th PGA Championship begins Thursday morning at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The top 3 players in the world will be grouped together with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and defending champion Xander Schauffele going out at 8:22 a.m. EDT.
