2025 PGA Championship preview: Rory McIlroy leads loaded field
Fresh off his Masters win, Rory McIlroy headlines a stacked field at the 2025 PGA Championship.
It's PGA Championship week and professional golf's second major of 2025 will once again feature a loaded field in pursuit of the Wannamaker Trophy.
First-round action begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, which also played host to the 2017 PGA Championship won by Justin Thomas. He was there earlier this week with most of the living PGA Championship winners from the past when defending champion Xander Schauffele hosted the event's annual champions' dinner.
The first PGA Championship was contested in 1916 and the tournament has been taking place every year since with pauses only for World War I and World War II. The winners list is a who's who from the sport's history, with legends of the game like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods and unlikely champions like John Daly and Shaun Micheel.
Here's a look at every previous PGA Championship winner ahead of the 2025 event:

PGA Tour FedEx Cup: Scottie Scheffler's British Open victory clinches regular-season race
Scottie Scheffler's victory in the British Open last week clinched the FedEx Cup regular-season championship for the second year in a row. Scheffler picked up 750 points (the highest number for a winner, reserved for major champions or The Players champion) and has 4,806. He's 1,362 ahead of No. 2 Rory McIlroy and since the final two points events (this week's 3M Championship and next week's Wyndham Championship) give 500 each to the winner, Scheffler's lead is secure heading into the FedEx Cup Playoffs beginning Aug. 7-10 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Since Scheffler has first locked up, the rest of the leaders will be taking a bit of a vacation the next two weeks. Only five players among the top 30 on the current points list are in the field at the TPC Twin Cities for the 3M Championship: No. 11 Maverick McNealy, No. 22 Sam Burns, No. 23 Chris Gotterup, No. 28 Ryan Gerard and No. 29 Sungjae Im. Who made the biggest moves last week? Wyndham Clark, +27 spots (78th to 51st), tied for fourth at the British Open Jesper Svensson, +22 spots (133rd to 111th), tied for 16th at the British Open Matt Fitzpatrick, +18 spots (60th to 42nd), tied for fourth at the British Open Erik van Rooyen, +18 spots (80th to 62nd), second at the Barracuda Championship Martin Laird, +18 spots (212th to 194th), tied for 11th at the Barracuda Championship FedEx Cup bubble watch The top 70 on the FedEx Cup points list advance to the FedEx Cup Playoffs beginning Aug. 7-10 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. There are two points events remaining, this week's 3M Championship and next week's Wyndham Championship.

TaylorMade Golf's Owner and Lender Hire Bankers Over Control
TaylorMade, which has clubs in the bags of men's world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is now at the center of an ownership dispute between two South Korean companies that could reshape its future. California-based TaylorMade Golf Co. has built a name by turning out drivers, irons and putters used by many of the world's top pros, and holds an estimated 15% to 20% market share of the global golf equipment market. Its gear is a staple on the tours, where TV audiences from Tokyo to Toronto watch the likes of the top-ranked women's golfer Nelly Korda and Collin Morikawa swing the maker's clubs.

Jordan Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season
Jordan Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season originally appeared on The Spun. In the 2010s, Jordan Spieth ranked among the top golfers in the world, winning back-to-back majors in 2015 and adding a third in 2017. But over the past several years, he's found success hard to come by, so he's setting a new goal for 2026. Speaking to reporters at the Wyndham Championship, Spieth said that he expects he can be back at the top of the golf world next year. He believes that 2026 is "going to be a really good year" for him and believes that he's improving to that end. "Next year's going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it. It's all coming along. I'll be healthy, and just structurally putting, the mechanics are all getting really, really close," Spieth said. "One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I've been. That's my goal." Spieth has a pretty steep hill to climb towards that goal though. He currently ranks No. 51 in the Official World Golf Ranking and has not won an event since 2022. His luck hasn't been particularly good in the majors either. He has missed the cut in three of his last 11 major appearances and has not cracked the top 10 in any. Spieth only finished in the top 20 in one of them - this year's Masters. The 2025 golf major season saw Rory McIlroy complete the rare career Grand Slam by winning the Masters. With a Masters, Open Championship and U.S. Open under his belt, Spieth needs to win a PGA Championship to join McIlroy, Tiger, Jack and all of those other legends. It's just going to be hard to take Spieth seriously as a real contender until he finally starts winning events again. In the eight years since he won the 2017 Open Championship he has won a grand total of two events and none since the 2022 RBC Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season first appeared on The Spun on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
