And now he’ll be looking ahead to next month’s championship after he ended his 10-year wait for a fifth major title.

The 2025 PGA Championship is scheduled to take place from May 15–18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina – a course McIlroy knows all too well.

Holywood hotsot McIlroy has turned Quail Hollow Club into his personal playground.

He’s racked up four PGA Tour victories at the Charlotte venue – more than any other course in his career.

His first win came in 2010, when he shot a stunning final-round 62 to claim his maiden PGA Tour title at just 20 years old.

The world number two returned in 2015 to dominate the Wells Fargo Championship, setting a course-record 61 en route to a seven-shot win.

McIlroy added a third title in 2021, edging out the field before making it a quartet of wins with a commanding performance in 2024 where he finished five shots clear in the signature event.

The venue sets the perfect stage for his assault on the 2025 PGA Championship.
