Tyler Collet's game is trending at just the right time. Last month, the assistant pro at John’s Island Club won the 2025 PGA Professional Championship by a record 10 strokes, punching his ticket to this week’s PGA Championship.

The last time the PGA Championship came to Quail Hollow Club, in 2017, Ryan Gerard was moving into his freshman dorm at North Carolina. Six months later, Gerard and his Tar Heel teammates found themselves standing on Quail’s 18th tee for what seemed like the hundredth time.

Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka turned in another poor scorecard at Quail Hollow, the site of this week's PGA Championship.

The two-time PGA champ prepared at Quail Hollow last week then arrived for the tournament Wednesday night, but is likely going home early after an opening 79.

Ryan Gerard grew up on public golf courses in the Raleigh area, went to UNC and leads the field into Day 2 at Quail Hollow. Alex Smalley, another NC kid, is tied for second.

Mud balls are dominating the conversation at the PGA Championship. Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele both made double bogey from the middle of the 16th fairway with mud splotches on their golf balls.

The PGA of America smartly created a mega group for the first two rounds of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, putting together Scheffler, the World No. 1, with the next two men in the rankings, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele.

For the first time in major championship history, the PGA Championship is offering free concessions to fans holding Championship+ daily grounds tickets this week. Under the all-inclusive food and beverage program, fans can grab an entrée, snack, and non-alcoholic drink as many times as they like at on-course concession venues at no extra charge.
