Rory McIlroy’s Perspective
Tournament Outlook
The 2025 PGA Championship promises to be a highly competitive event, with a field that includes both PGA Tour stalwarts and LIV Golf players. Rory McIlroy, having completed his career Grand Slam with a victory at the Masters earlier this year, is among the favorites to contend for the title. The challenging layout of Quail Hollow, known for its demanding “Green Mile” stretch, will test the skills and composure of all participants. (Golf Monthly, talkSPORT)
