Rory McIlroy's start to 2025 is impressing his fellow pros as they prepare for the US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, a course the Northern Irishman has won at four times.

Scottie Scheffler practically had the course to himself when he arrived a day early at the PGA Championship, a time to get reacquainted with Quail Hollow. He had played it only at the Presidents Cup in 2022 when the holes were a little out of order because of the format.

Jordan Spieth has never stopped dreaming of a career Grand Slam, and Rory McIlroy's triumph at Augusta National has only inspired him to make it happen.
