Notes: The second major of the year is held at Quail Hollow Club for the second time. Quail Hollow has held a PGA Tour event since 2003 except for when it held the PGA Championship (2017, 2025) and the Presidents Cup (2022). … Masters champion Rory McIlroy is a four-time winner at Quail Hollow. The only other course where he has won four times is Emirates Golf Club for the Dubai Desert Classic. … McIlroy will try to become only the fifth player since 1960 to win the first two legs of the Grand Slam. The others were Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth. … Spieth lacks the PGA Championship for the career Grand Slam. This is his ninth try. … The field features 99 of the top 100 players in the world. Missing is Billy Horschel, who is out with hip surgery. … This is the second straight year for a major in North Carolina. Bryson DeChambeau won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 last year.
