Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau have battled at the end in two recent major championships, with one winning each of them.

McIlroy, who has been tipped by Jordan Spieth as altering his grand slam pursuit narrative, boasts an impressive track record at Quail Hollow. Meanwhile, Schauffele, who is set to host his champions dinner complete with a special gift this week, captured two major titles last year, making their group the centre of attention.

The PGA Championship at Quail Hollow could offer McIlroy another shot at glory after he finally completed golf’s career Grand Slam at last month’s Masters.
