Can Rory McIlroy end the US dominance at the PGA Championship 2025? Tournament Odds and top bets explored

Rory McIlroy and other golf superstars will be in action this week at the PGA Championship 2025. The next major of the 2025 season will tee off on Thursday, May 15 at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In the last few years, the PGA Championship has seen total US dominance, as no non-American has been able to win in the past nine years. Jason Day was the last non-American to lift the Wanamaker Trophy in 2015. This marks the longest winning streak by a single nation in any of the four majors.

However, this season has been a bit different, as 14 of the 22 PGA Tour winners have been non-Americans. Rory McIlroy has emerged as one of the strongest contenders to win this week. According to SportsLine, he is +500 to win his sixth major championship and is a joint favorite alongside World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

While McIlroy has won three titles this year, including the Masters Tournament, Scheffler has also returned to the winner’s circle with a dominant victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Speaking of others, last year’s runner-up, Bryson DeChambeau, is once again expected to perform well. The LIV Golf star is +1000 to win his third major title, and his recent form has been impressive. He has finished in the top five in all four of his recent starts, including a win at Korea. Ludvig Aberg and defending champion Xander Schauffele are both +1200 to win the PGA Championship 2025.
