Rory McIlroy sends Scottie Scheffler & Jordan Spieth a warning ahead of the 2025 PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy is preparing for the second major championship of the year, the PGA Championship. The Northern Irish golfer completed his career Grand Slam last month,winning the 2025 Masters and breaking the Augusta National jinx.
During the post-round press conference of the 2025 Truist Championship, Rory McIlroy revealed what the media will be talking about now that he has won the green jacket.
"Hopefully, in two weeks' time, you're talking about me being a six-time major champion instead of a five-time major champion," McIlroy said.
"I mean, I don't know. I was really referencing like that specific tournament and sort of what we talk about in that building every year for the last ten years."
He said that there are great storylines in golf, like Scottie Scheffler winning by a million last week and Jordan Spieth going for a career Grand Slam at the 2025 PGA Championship.
"There's enough great storylines in golf, whether it be like Scottie won by a million last week and seems to be playing back to his best. You've got Jordan Spieth going for the career grand slam next week. You've got a lot of exciting stuff happening in the women's game. There's always great story lines in golf, and it certainly doesn't just have to be about me," McIlroy said.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy last won the PGA Championship in 2014 after winning it for the first time in 2012. The five-time major championship winner will be one of the favorites going into the PGA Championship, which begins at Quail Hollow Golf Club in North Carolina from May 15-18.
