Don’t forget about the LIV players, too. While Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are the favorites to win the 107th PGA Championship, they have plenty of challengers. That includes defending champion Xander Schauffele, who is fifth among the early betting favorites, and the 2017 PGA winner at Quail Hollow, Justin Thomas.

How has Justin Thomas grown over the years on the PGA Tour? He expressed ahead of the PGA Championship that even the most talented guys have scars.

Xander Schauffele will be looking for his third major championship after taking home this tournament last year and winning the British Open. Justin Thomas won with a two-shot victory the last time Quail Hollow hosted the PGA in 2017. Thomas also won this tournament in 2022.

Collin Morikawa had no idea how heavy the Wanamaker Trophy was when he attempted to hoist it in the air following his victory at the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park.

While Rory McIlroy is clearly the man to beat at the 2025 PGA Championship, he faces a solid group of contenders.

Quail Hollow Club hosts the world's foremost golfers for this year's PGA Championship, which begins with the first round on Thursday, May 15. Might a return to Quail Hollow bring more success for Justin Thomas?
