Fresh off perhaps his greatest career accomplishment, McIlroy will try to ride the wave this week at the PGA Championship.

As we arrive at the 2025 PGA Championship, the top of the golf world feels as competitive as ever. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have been dominant on the PGA Tour, Bryson DeChambeau has become a monster at majors for LIV Golf, and a host of other players are constantly knocking at the door of that elite tier.

Basically, from the fairway, Rory is worse than average from inside 100 yards, slightly above average between 100 and 200 yards, and wayyyy above average (Matt Courchene made sure to emphasize how good that 0.074 number is) from more than 200 yards. From the rough, he's also significantly better the farther he gets from the hole.
