The second of the four men’s major tournaments on the PGA Tour begins today: It’s time for the 2025 PGA Championship.

The tournament begins today and will continue through Sunday, May 18, when the winner of the 107th annual tournament will be named. This year’s PGA Championship field consists of 156 golfers from the PGA Tour, European Tour, and Japan Golf Tour.

Going into the PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler remains a favorite, as he’s been the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world for 103 weeks straight. Rory McIlroy, who won the 2025 Masters last month, already has four wins at Quail Hollow under his belt and could make it a fifth with a win this weekend.
