Rory McIlroy is heading into the 2025 Truist Open at the Philadelphia Cricket Club as the favorite, having previously won in 2021 and 2024. The tournament sets the stage for next week’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
During a recent practice round, Jordan Spieth congratulated McIlroy on his Masters victory. McIlroy responded by suggesting it would be Spieth’s turn to win next week, prompting a light-hearted reply from Spieth about Quail Hollow being “Rory McIlroy Country Club.”
McIlroy has won four times at Quail Hollow and skipped the Byron Nelson Classic to rest. Experts believe the course suits his long drives, while Spieth, still seeking his first PGA Championship, hopes to break through in Charlotte.
