US EditionIs Xander Schauffele playing at the PGA Championship after 1-stroke win over Bryson DeChambeau last year?
- Xander Schauffele, who claimed last year's PGA Championship title by edging out Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke, will be defending his crown at Quail Hollow Club when the 107th PGA Championship begins on May 15, 2025.
- Schauffele missed over two months with a rib injury and has shown improving form with a top-10 finish at the Masters, while Quail Hollow's long, rain-softened course favors players with driving distance like DeChambeau.
- Schauffele will play in a supergroup with Rory McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion, and Scottie Scheffler, all teeing off the first two rounds together from the 10th tee at 8:22 a.m. Local time Thursday.
- McIlroy, who recently achieved a career Grand Slam and has claimed three PGA Tour titles this year including the Players Championship, is joining Scheffler, who praised the exceptional form of his groupmates, calling them among the top golfers currently competing.
- Schauffele aims to defend his title amid tough conditions and strong competition, with firming greens expected by the weekend and experts identifying him and DeChambeau as key contenders in this major.
