Known for dramatic finishes and notable champions, the Wanamaker Trophy—which has been awarded to the winner since 1916—is inscribed with names such as Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player.
The 2025 PGA Championship is set to take place between 12-18 May at Quail Hollow Club. The reigning champion is Xander Schauffele.

If you were forced to work a regular non golf related job what would it be? A postman or a jocky
God, I can’t stand Rory
If I could build a perfect golfer Rory wouldn’t be picked for anything
Aka show the press what you deem weakest so they can hammer you on it for the rest of your career.
He gave the only right answer.
Great question, d-bag answer.
Lame
Scotties approach game
Imagine a world with no hypothetical questions.
Interviewer should have changed tact and then asked him fine, whos the best driver, putter, etc on tour atm. Then he would have to answer it in a roundabout way.
Some of the old golfers like Jack Nicklaus are Trump supporters. They are disgusting in my book. Rory is an honest man with integrity.
way to shut down a ridiculously stupid question. the guy that asked that question should be embarrassed
No, it's a boring answer
Thats my Boy…
Then avoids media after getting caught with non conforming driver that he used to win the masters
Scottie scheffler. End of question lol
It was this very moment that Rory decided he was not speaking to these idiots anymore for the rest of the tournament lol
If you were forced to ask an insightful question, or have Rory hit you in the shins with another player’s putter… which would you choose?
1000% narcissist and 0% sportmanship
Lol just tell Rory he sucks at putting. No need to disrespect him with a dumb hypothetical like he doesn't know the interviewer's intentions to get him to say putting.
Rory doesn't want to admit his weaknesses which is a weakness in itself
He could have just asked the question in a better way. Like if we look at golf as 4 different skill sets who do you see current or past as a truly impressive player in one of those metrics
Why would you ask a Masters champion such a stupid question? Where do these dumb reporters come up with stuff like this?
I bet he would’ve traded with Scottie that week…..mic drop.
Quick hypothetical for you. Why not go back to journo college and retake the module dealing with asking ludicrous and utterly dim questions?
What a stick in the mud
I really like how level headed the guy in the middle is here. Saying exactly what I was thinking rather than going over the top
Perfect answer? Try snobby with 0 personality. Perfect opportunity to compliment another’s game. PGA wants everyone to love Rory, I find it hard to. What’s to like? A petty short dude that steals phones and acts like a diva? Right.
Reporters like this should be banned from asking questions. Either ask relevant questions, or keep your mouth shut
This was a great question – hearing the other players answer it was really interesting. Rory is just a hardo.
If my aunt was bald, she'd be my uncle…
I heard that this guy is a creep.
Running wild, his ego is…
So many really dufus questions today. What's the point of taking these loser questions.
Why would he he just won the masters . And he’s on the PGA tour. Obviously he’s equal or better in one or all categories.
Yeah, no…next question
all the other players they asked gave a legitimate answer – Rory consistently dodges these hypotheticals and its honestly an egotistical turnoff to me as someone who has been following his entire career
