Rory McIlroy Aims for Back-to-Back Majors at PGA Championship

Charlotte, North Carolina – The second major of the 2025 golf season kicks off Thursday at Quail Hollow with Rory McIlroy looking to secure his second consecutive major title following his triumph at The Masters. McIlroy, a four-time winner at Quail Hollow, faces stiff competition from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and several other top contenders.

After winning the Masters, McIlroy is eager to carry that momentum into the PGA Championship. “I feel like I can keep this run going,” he said in a recent interview.

McIlroy’s major rivals include Scheffler, who is coming off a victory at the CJ Cup and is determined to reclaim his status after McIlroy’s success. Many analysts are looking to Scheffler as a serious challenger to McIlroy’s potential back-to-back wins.

The tournament will also see familiar faces like Bryson DeChambeau, who is looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance at The Masters, and Jordan Spieth, who aims to join the elite group of players with a career Grand Slam.

Speculation is heating up among analysts, with experts divided over whom to pick. Some believe McIlroy’s recent form will power him to victory, while others suggest Scheffler’s relentless drive could lead him to a major win away from Augusta National.

As the week progresses, all eyes will be on Quail Hollow, renowned for its challenging layout and rich history. Golf fans are eager to see if McIlroy can replicate his Masters performance or if Scheffler will reign supreme.

With a lush course and a star-studded field, this weekend promises excitement and potential history as golf’s best vie for the Wanamaker Trophy.
