The PGA Championship is now just two weeks way. The second men's majors in 2025 will be played at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, May 15-18.
The PGA is the only major with no amateurs and many argue it boasts the best field of the four majors. When the golf balls start flying at Quail Hollow in three weeks, there will be 156 golfers in the field. As of May 1, there are now 95 golfers with secured tee times for at least the first two days, according to the PGA Tour's qualifier tracker, and there's still some time for many more to get in.
There were 20 names added to the field Wednesday night, including PGA cult hero Michael Block. He was one of 20 to advance out of the 2025 PGA Professional Championship, including Tyler Collett, who won that event in record fashion.
