Sat May 10 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Quail Hollow Club Ready to Host Another PGA Championship

**Charlotte, NC** – Eight years after witnessing Justin Thomas’s first major victory, Quail Hollow Club prepares to once again host the PGA Championship, taking place May 12-18. In 2017, Thomas, then 24, secured the Wanamaker Trophy with a final-round 68, finishing at 8-under-par. This year, the course will be slightly longer, stretching to 7,626 yards, promising a challenging test for the world’s best golfers.

Quail Hollow, originally designed by George Cobb and later refined by Arnold Palmer and Tom Fazio, boasts a rich history. Its challenging layout, particularly the infamous “Green Mile” – the final three holes – is expected to play a crucial role in determining the champion. This closing stretch, comprising a par-4, a par-3, and another par-4, has consistently proven to be one of the most difficult in major championship golf. Past PGA champions, Keegan Bradley and Collin Morikawa, have praised the course’s overall difficulty and strategic demands.

While the back nine, including the “Green Mile,” features some of the most challenging holes, the front nine also presents its own difficulties. Interestingly, in 2017, the front nine proved more difficult statistically than the back nine, highlighting the need for consistent performance throughout the entire round.

Thomas’s 2017 victory is a testament to the fact that exceptional putting and short game can overcome struggles off the tee. His relatively low fairway-hit percentage didn’t hinder his success, emphasizing the importance of all facets of the game at Quail Hollow.

With its challenging layout and history of thrilling finishes, the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow promises to be another memorable event.
