The 2025 USPGA Championship (or simply the PGA Championship to those on the other side of the Atlantic) will be kicking off at the Quail Hollow Club. in North Carolina, this Thursday (May 15) - the 107th edition of the major.
It’s the second major of the year, with Rory McIlroy memorably claiming the first by taking the Masters after a playoff with Justin Rose.
That completed his career major grand slam and he’ll be hungry to add to his five major haul - with the PGA trophy the only one he has lifted twice (in 2012 and 2014).
If he does he’ll be the first non-American to win the tournament since Aussie Jason Day way back in 2015.
There are no shortage of Americans hoping to triumph, led by world number one Scottie Scheffler.
Meanwhile defending champion Xander Schauffele will be hoping to make it two in a row.
They are three of the players the bookies have the best chance of winning.
Here are all 12 favourites - and what they’ve won so far.
9. Joaquin Niemann - 30/1
Chilean Joaquín Niemann is the ninth favourite 30/1 shot for the USPGA, despite having never triumphed at a Major. He won twice on the PGA tour before joining LIV golf and tied for 16th place in the 2023 Masters. | Getty Images
10. Patrick Cantlay - 35/1
American golfer Patrick Cantlay was ranked the world's number one amateur player before going pro in 2012. He's never come better than third in a Major but has won eight times on the PGA Tour and triumphed at the 2021 FedEx Cup. He's 35/1 to win his first Major at the 2025 USPGA. | Getty Images
11. Brooks Koepka - 40/1
American golfer Brooks Koepka is a remarkably long 40/1 shot to triumph. He won a remarkable five majors in six years from 2017-2023 - two US Opens and three PGA Championships. He's also the first golfer to hold back-to-back titles in two majors simultaneously. Even Tiger didn't do that! | Getty Images
12. Hideki Matsuyama - 40/1
The first Japanese golfer to win a major (he triumphed at the 2021 Masters), Hideki Matsuyama is priced at 40/1 to add the 2025 PGA Championship to his CV. He's certainly got every chance of being in the running, boasting ten top-10 finishes at majors to date. | Getty Images
