The prestigious PGA Championship will hold its latest edition at the Quail Hollow Club in 2025. Xander Schauffele won the PGA Championship in 2024 at Valhalla Golf Club. He defeated Bryson DeChambeau by one shot.

In September 2017, it was announced that starting in 2019, the PGA Championship would be played on the weekend before Memorial Day. Simultaneously, the PGA Tour announced that its Players Championship would return to March in 2019; it had moved to May in 2007. The PGA of America cited golf’s provision in the Summer Olympics and cooler weather allowing for a wider variety of options to be considered for host courses as reasons for the change. Also, it was alleged that the PGA Tour wanted to realign its schedule so that the FedEx Cup Playoffs would not have to compete with the start of the football season in late August.
