As we arrive at the 2025 PGA Championship, the top of the golf world feels as competitive as ever. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have been dominant on the PGA Tour, Bryson DeChambeau has become a monster at majors for LIV Golf, and a host of other players are constantly knocking at the door of that elite tier.

Fresh off perhaps his greatest career accomplishment, McIlroy will try to ride the wave this week at the PGA Championship.

McIlroy won the Wells Fargo Championship, the normal PGA Tour stop at Quail Hollow, four times in his career. Although McIlroy has slightly longer odds than Scottie Scheffler to win the Wanamaker Trophy, he has to be viewed as the favorite.
