Who will win the 107th PGA Championship? Our experts dive into all the twists and turns of the year's second major
CHARLOTTE -- With the PGA Championship returning to Quail Hollow for the first time in eight years, the key question everyone's asking is the same across the golf world: Who are you picking to win this 170th playing of one of the nation's most notable tournaments? With an extraordinary field featuring 99 of the top 100 professional golfers in the work -- along with a bevy of PGA of America professionals -- the second major championship of 2025 should be an epic ride from Thursday's first round through the awarding of the Wanamaker Trophy early Sunday evening.
While the PGA Championship field is stacked, there is a three-headed monster at the top with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau entering as the three clear favorites. The former two top the PGA Championship odds board, though, with McIlroy already winnin three tiems on the season with his last clinching the career grand slam as he finally donned a green jacket at the Masters one month ago. Scheffler broke through his winless drought a couple weeks ago at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, and DeChambeau has been crushing it on LIV Golf.
Two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas slides in right behind the triumverate, particularly given he won this tournament the last time it was played at Quail Hollow in 2017. There are plenty of golfers behind J.T. who will surely be in contention, including Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm and potentially even Jordan Spieth, who needs a Wanamaker Trophy to complete his own career grand slam. It has been a long trek back to relevancy for Spieth, who is in the midst of his best season in years though still without a recent win.
