2025 PGA Championship: Rory McIlroy Disappoints at Quail Hollow in First Major Round Since Masters Triumph

Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and four-time winner at Quail Hollow, shot a 3-over 74 in the first round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina on May 15, 2025.
McIlroy struggled off the tee, hitting only four of 14 fairways and battling a left miss with his driver, which led to multiple lost positions and a double bogey on the 16th hole.
Despite being a co-favorite with Scottie Scheffler at 5-1 odds, McIlroy’s round included key difficulties like bogeys on holes one and nine, only two birdies, and missing greens that usually benefit his dominant distance game.
McIlroy finished the round tied for 92nd place, eight strokes behind the leader, and posted one of his worst rounds at Quail Hollow, which contrasts with Scheffler’s under-par 69 and the lead held at six under.
Although McIlroy had a disappointing start, his historic success at Quail Hollow and status as world number two suggest he could recover during the remaining rounds to contend in this second major of 2025.
