Full field of 156 is now finalized for 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow
Full field of 156 is now finalized for 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow
The PGA of America announced Tuesday the first 154 golfers in the field for the 2025 PGA Championship. Sunday night, we learned who the final two names will be that will round out the full field of 156.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Masters champ Rory McIlroy highlight the tee sheet, but this field is stacked once again, with 29 major champions, 14 past PGA champs, three World Golf Hall of Famers and three Ryder Cup captains among those set to tee it up.
As it turned out, there were actually three players who got in the PGA field on Sunday.
First, past PGA Championship winner Vijay Singh withdrew from the event, and that opened the door for Michael Thorbjornsen, originally third on the alternate list, to get into the field.
Then, Ryan Fox, who won the opposite-field Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic for his first PGA Tour win, earned a spot in the PGA.
And when Sepp Straka won the Truist Championship, which happened just a few minutes before Fox won, the door for Victor Perez, fourth on the alternates list, to snag the 156th and final PGA spot. The Truist winner, if not already in the PGA, would have earned a spot but Straka already had one so the PGA of America went to the next person in line on the alternates list, and that was Perez.
Also included are the 20 PGA Professionals, who punched their ticket last week. Included in the field of 20 PGA pros is Michael Block, who became a fan favorite at Oak Hill in 2023.
So the full field is now set for Quail Hollow Club.

USGA says it's not necessary to test everyone's driver at events
Ahead of the U.S. Open, Fred Perpall, Mike Whan and John Bodenhamer of the USGA address weather concerns, the "dense" rough at Oakmont, why drivers fail testing, the USGA's next media rights deal and more. OAKMONT, Pa. – Driver testing for characteristic time, or CT, became a headline at last month's PGA Championship when Rory McIlroy's driver was deemed nonconforming just days before the year's second major, and it was later learned that world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler's driver also failed the test, which essentially measures the 'springiness' of the driver face. Whether driver testing becomes a talking point again this week remains to be seen, but the USGA is forging ahead with testing at the U.S. Open. According to John Bodenhamer, the USGA's chief championships officer, about a third of the field, a little more than 50 players, were tested this week at Oakmont. The USGA does not publish the results of the testing. 'There's nothing to suggest there are a ton of drivers that are over the limit,' said Thomas Pagel, the association's chief governance officer. 'It's less than a handful.' Following his victory at the PGA Championship, Scheffler said he'd like to see more 'robust' testing and that the current process only goes 'halfway.' Since the PGA Championship, many players have called for an all-or-nothing approach to driver testing and protocols that would either test the entire field at a particular event or no one. 'We test them throughout the year and don't think it's necessary [to test every driver each week],' said Bodenhamer. 'It would be difficult, from a time perspective, to test every driver and we don't want to be too intrusive.' Currently, a player's driver is tested about three times a year at various events on the PGA Tour or at major championships, and logistically it would be a challenge to test the entire field at this week's U.S. Open with 156 players and each test lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. Instead, the USGA, along with the game's other stakeholders, contends more comprehensive testing isn't necessary based on the number of drivers that fail the CT testing. Rex Hoggard, 'We think the testing that we're doing is commensurate with both the degree of failure that we see, which is pretty minimal, and quite frankly, when we see failure, at least currently, we're seeing clubs just literally creep over the line,' said USGA CEO Mike Whan. 'It's a line we draw — we aren't seeing when we're taking drivers off, drivers that are, oh, my gosh, look where that one went [over the limit].' Some players also questioned the testing protocols, pointing out that there is no testing for CT, or creep, at LIV Golf events. The USGA, which administers CT testing at Tour events and the PGA Championship, does not test drivers at LIV events but Pagel said 'any tour, men or women, who reaches out for support, we would support.'

Plan B? No, the USGA is moving forward with ball roll back
Ahead of the U.S. Open, Fred Perpall, Mike Whan and John Bodenhamer of the USGA address weather concerns, the "dense" rough at Oakmont, why drivers fail testing, the USGA's next media rights deal and more. OAKMONT, Pa. – Mike Whan is one of golf's most dynamic and engaging leaders as the USGA's CEO. He's also one of the game's most verbose executives, which makes his response Wednesday to a follow-up question regarding the association's plan to roll back the ball the ultimate tell. 'Is there a plan B?' a member of the media asked regarding a possible plan for the USGA to pivot if resistance to the roll back continues to mount. 'We've announced our plan,' Whan said simply. The not-so-subtle message was that the USGA and R&A intend to forge ahead with the roll back, which will begin in 2028 for elite professionals and 2030 for recreational players. 'We've given manufacturers dates that we know they're working on. They're submitting prototypes and have R&D efforts,' Whan said. 'I guess would you say, set in stone? Could we come across something that would make us feel like our decision needs to be altered? Could. We're definitely going to stay open-minded to that. But we have yet to see anything that would suggest that.' While some in the industry, specifically the PGA of America, have pushed back on the roll back, Whan is confident the move is the right decision for the long-term health of the game. 'Listen, I get this isn't easy and everybody has got their own constituents. As an industry, we have to be able to make small adjustments that are in the best interest of the game long-term, that we all know would be better 40 years from now if we were smart enough to make them today,' Whan said. 'We'll make those. Not everybody will like it. It'll be high anxiety until we get there. But nobody is going to die. The game is going to be great.'

2025 U.S. Open purse, payouts: How much is up for grabs this week at Oakmont Country Club?
The third major championship is here, and the USGA is matching last year's record purse in Pennsylvania. The USGA announced on Wednesday that it is offering a $21.5 million purse at the U.S. Open this week. While that's not the largest offered this season on the PGA Tour, it matched the record that the tournament set last year among the four major championships. Advertisement The $21.5 million purse will also send the winner home from Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh with a $4.3 million check. "We didn't raise our purse this year," USGA CEO Mike Whan said on Wednesday. "When I started at the USGA just four years ago, our purse was $12.5 million, so I feel comfortable that we've been a leader in moving fast and bigger ... We understand the competitive set. We know that this probably isn't really about the money for the person who puts it there, but at the same time, we want the money to be commensurate with the achievement." By comparison, the PGA Tour's signature events carry purses of at least $20 million. The Players Championship leads the way with a $25 million purse, which is larger than the four major championships. The Masters offered a $21 million purse earlier this spring, which sent Rory McIlroy home with a $4.2 million check for his win, and Scottie Scheffler took home $3.42 million for his PGA Championship victory. Scheffler is the betting favorite this week, and it's easy to understand why. The top-ranked golfer in the world has won three of his last four starts without any issue whatsoever. He's finished inside the top-5 in two of his last three U.S. Open starts, too. Bryson DeChambeau isn't far behind, and McIlroy is up there, too — though he's coming off a missed cut at the RBC Canadian Open last week. Here's how much is up for grabs this week at Oakmont Country Club.
