2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow: How to Watch, TV Schedule, & Tee Times

The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow features Rory, Scottie, and Spieth chasing history. Here’s how to watch every moment.

There are four days each spring when golf holds its breath. When pressure gathers with each swing and history waits in the still Carolina air. The 107th PGA Championship begins Thursday at Quail Hollow in Charlotte—a course carved for drama, power, and poise.

Rory McIlroy returns to his personal proving ground. Scottie Scheffler is riding a wave few can match. And for Jordan Spieth, it is more than a major—it’s a shot at immortality. A win, and the career Grand Slam is his. A miss, and the wait continues. The stage is set.

Three Names, One Dream: A Championship of Purpose

Rory McIlroy knows this course. Quail Hollow is where his legend took root—a site of four past victories, including his first PGA Tour win in 2010. Now, he returns to Charlotte not just chasing another trophy, but defending momentum. Fresh off a Masters win, McIlroy arrives not just as a favorite, but as a man chasing rare air.

Then there’s Scottie Scheffler. Calm, calculated, composed. His game, at times, feels machine-like—effortless and effective. But Quail Hollow demands more. It demands emotion. Expect Scheffler to give just enough of both.

And Jordan Spieth? He arrives with something greater than confidence—he arrives with consequence. The PGA Championship remains the final piece of his Grand Slam puzzle, a prize that’s haunted him since his last major win in 2017. It’s the weight of legacy that walks with him this week.

Grouped together for the opening rounds—McIlroy, Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele—these three tee off as more than stars. They are storylines in motion, each chasing a different kind of history.

Quail Hollow: A Course That Doesn’t Flinch

Some courses host tournaments. Others demand them. Quail Hollow is the latter.

Tucked into the pine-lined pockets of Charlotte, North Carolina, it stretches long and tests even longer. Its fairways bend like questions. Its closing stretch—the Green Mile—answers them. Holes 16, 17, and 18 are unforgiving and unforgettable. Water. Wind. Nerves. All present.

This is where careers are forged and tested.

McIlroy has found something spiritual here. For him, this place is both familiar and formidable—a combination that’s made Quail Hollow a sanctuary and a challenge all at once.

But it isn’t just about power. It’s about patience. Those who chase flags here often find trouble. Those who manage their moments, who breathe before the swing and silence the doubt, they find glory.

For Spieth, a master of creativity, Quail Hollow is an artist’s canvas. For Scheffler, a tactician, it’s a battleground of discipline. For fans, it’s a theater—sun-drenched and perfectly manicured—for golf’s most poetic championship.
