The excitement is building: On Thursday, May 15, 2025 , the highly anticipated 2025 US PGA Championship —one of golf's four major tournaments —begins. This year, the event will be played at the legendary Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina , a course known for its challenging fairways and the infamous "Green Mile" finish.

Why the 2025 PGA Championship is so special

The PGA Championship is not only the second-oldest major in professional golf, but also one of the most prestigious. With a field featuring the world's best golfers—including Ryder Cup stars, major champions, and hot newcomers—the 2025 PGA promises to be thrilling right down to the last putt.

Did you know? The winner of the PGA Championship not only receives the iconic Wanamaker Trophy , but also secures:

  • a lifetime starting eligibility for the PGA Championship

  • a five-year qualification for the other three majors (Masters, US Open, The Open)

  • a substantial share of the prize money , which is expected to reach record levels again in 2025

Quail Hollow: A Golf Legend in North Carolina

Quail Hollow is one of the most prestigious golf courses in the USA. The course hosted the PGA Championship in 2017 and remains unforgettable for its dramatic finish.

The “Green Mile”: The toughest finish in golf?

The last three holes (16, 17, 18) are infamous and reverently referred to by players and fans as the "Green Mile." This is where the tournament is regularly decided because:

  • Hole 16: A long par 4 with water on the right

  • Hole 17: A par 3 with an island green and plenty of thrills

  • Hole 18: A brutal par 4 with a tight tee and water along the entire left side

If you stay cool here, you can make history.

Players in focus: Who are the favorites?

Could it be another major victory for Rory McIlroy (who triumphed at Quail Hollow in 2010)? Or a breakthrough for a young gun like Ludvig Åberg? Perhaps even the comeback of a seasoned veteran?

One thing is certain: the 2025 PGA Championship will be epic.
