NEWS Staff Predictions – 2025 PGA Championship

[Baron1]

Love this thread! It's cool the see the prediction form you guys. Personally, I think that @Jman has the most probable pick based on Scottie's last W with -31. However, I'd be rooting for @JDax pick.

Lots of love for the exorcised Rory.

He seems to always play Quail Hollow very well.

 

[cmon man]

Lots of love for the exorcised Rory. Hot hand and money off his back.

or Mind on the money and money on the mind?

Luv the Rory Luv.. I think we have another Bryson Rory Sunday showdown.. and the YouTuber loses another.

A 1, 2 finish by Scheffler and Rory wouldn't surprise me at all. Let's just hope it's a great tournament that is fun to watch.

 

[golfinnut]

It's a toss up. A lot of great picks by everyone.
But I've got to go with @Canadan on this one

 

[USAF Retired]

We had so much fun making predictions for The Masters we decided to go ahead and make some predictions for The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Once again we were tasked with choosing the winner, a dark horse (someone not ranked in the top 25), and finally someone we thought would not live up […]

I think @Hawk has the best picks for the PGA Championship

I appreciate that @jdtox and @Muchmore went out on a limb with the winner pics not going the favorites of Rory or Scottie. That said I think Scottie is taking this thing and @JB's picks look the best to me.

Think @Muchmore has the biggest reach...I'm assuming the let down for Rory would be not winning?

I'm also not sure what hype Wyndham Clark and Jordan Spieth have coming in to this (though they once played well a while ago).

@Muchmore nailed it with his winner. Ludvig is due to breakout and will take this one.

I have the 77th ranked player in the world as my Dark horse pick.

 

[JW Smoove]

I think this one falls between @Muchmore and @Hawk I'll another couple days to decide.

 

[BigMac]

I'm going with @JDax, simply because I'm trying to manifest it. If only he had Rory as the biggest letdown it would be perfect.

 

[ShortCoursePro]

Did Koepka break a toe and withdraw? Where’s the love? Now that Rory has his slam, I’ll be perpetually rooting for Koepka to win the PGA and USO every year. I want him to have like 20 majors, purely made up of these two majors…

 

[brians]

I hope I just didn’t jinx you, but @Hawk has the best predictions here

 

[e1iterate]

I know Max hasn’t been in great form, but he has won at Quail and he is my dark horse for this one. He played well at Augusta too which is a place he’d previously played well at.

Bryson is an interesting pick. Quail is pretty open from having played it 6 weeks before the Presidents Cup when it was there so Bryson could really take advantage of his length with little penalty.

That said, it’s hard to bet against Rory right now, isn’t it? He owns Quail and now he can swing free. I wouldn’t be surprised to see round 3 of Rory/Bryson come Sunday.
