What Scottie Scheffler said on being paired with Rory McIlroy and a 2X Major Champion

Scottie Scheffler is currently in the field for the 2025 PGA Championship at the Quail Hollow Golf Club. He is paired with 2025 Masters champion Rory McIlroy and the defending champion Xander Schauffele.

During the pre-round press conference, Scottie Scheffler spoke about being paired with McIlroy and Schauffele for the first two rounds.

"The point was two guys who are playing some of the best golf in the world. You know, Xander won two majors last year, and Rory already won the Players and the Masters this year. So he's playing some fantastic golf," Scheffler said.

"And, yeah, it should be a lot of fun. I've seen that pairing before, and, you know, we have a good time out there, and it's competitive. And I think, when I look back on my career, these will be some of the fondest memories I have, getting to play with some of the best players in the world and compete to try and win tournaments," Scheffler revealed.

Scottie Scheffler is yet to win the PGA Championship trophy, as his two major wins came in the Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club. His best finish at the PGA Championship came in 2023, where he finished T2, while last year he finished T8 for the event.

So he has been knocking on the doors of victory for a while now, and he will be hopeful of registering his third major championship win this week.
