There will be eighteen players among the All-time Top 100 golfers<\/mark><\/a> teeing it up for the 2025 PGA Championship<\/mark><\/a> at Quail Hollow<\/mark><\/a> this weekend in Norh Carolina. Jack and Tiger (1 and 2 on the list) set the career standard with 18 and 15 major championship wins respectively, marks that would seem impossible to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm have put up numbers that come as close to Jack<\/mark><\/a> and Tiger<\/mark><\/a> <\/mark>as just about anyone ever has. In the end, however, it comes down to performance at the major championships\u2014and the clock is ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory (#14), is 35 years old and just recorded his 5th<\/sup> major championship victory at The Masters<\/mark><\/a> in April. Jon Rahm (#50), is 30 years old with 2 major championships under his belt, while Scottie Scheffler (#55), also has 2 major wins–but at 28 he’s the youngest of this powerhouse group with the best chance to make a run at Jack and Tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Tiger won 14 of his 15 major championships by the age of 32 (the exception being his famous 2019 Masters victory at the age of 43), Jack won 6 majors after he turned 35. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that all 3 of these players are extremely fit, there is every reason to believe that each will continue to perform at a high level well into their 40\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory still has time<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having secured the career grand slam at Augusta National<\/mark> <\/a>in April, ending a 10-year major championship drought, has the dam now been broken for Rory and will major championships begin to fall like rain? His talent is such that it has often seemed the only way for McIlroy to lose is when he beats himself (you need a super computer to calculate the number of putts that Rory has missed inside of 10 feet in the major championships alone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Rory were to play at close to his maximum level through age 46 (when Jack won his last major championship), there is no question he can win more than a few additional majors\u2014but will those putts now begin to drop with more regularity? Regardless, McIlroy will end his career among the Top-10 greatest ever to play the game–and that’s pretty much guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheffler: Moving up fast<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scottie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scheffler\u2019s 2024 season stacks up with Jack\u2019s great \u201972 season, and even stands up close to Tiger\u2019s unbelievable year in 2000 when he won 3 majors. So far in 2025, Scottie hasn\u2019t missed a cut through 9 events with 6 Top-10\u2019s, including a win and a Top-5 at The Masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Scotties 2024 season was among the greats<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although Scottie is only is only 28, he will need to keep his foot firmly on the gas week-in and week-out as Jack and Tiger did, but particularly so at the majors\u2014starting this weekend at The PGA (Tiger already had 8 majors wins by the time he was 28, and Jack had 7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needs to kick it up at the majors<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jon Rahm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jon Rahm put up Tiger-like numbers when he played on the PGA Tour, and he dominates the LIV circuit, but his performance at the majors has not been particularly stellar since his departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his final year on the PGA Tour (2023), Jon had a win at The Masters, a T2 at The Open Championship<\/mark> <\/a>and a T10 at the U.S. Open<\/mark><\/a>. Since joining LIV, Rahm has recorded just 1 top-10 (T7 at the Open Championship last year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until there is a resolution between the PGA Tour<\/mark><\/a> <\/mark>and LIV, Jon\u2019s only opportunities to climb the All-Time Top 100 list will come at the major championships\u2014so he needs be have his A-game on display this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reigning U.S. Open and PGA Champions<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bryson and Xander<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the last 5 major championships, Bryson DeChambeau (#89) has recorded a win (\u201924 U.S. Open), a runner-up (\u201924 PGA), a T-5 (\u201925 Masters) and a T-6 (\u201924 Masters). Bryson is also at the top of the 2025 LIV standings, and he\u2019s coming off a win in South Korea–so he’s ready to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect Bryson to be among the leaders come Sunday at Quail Hollow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Xander (#66) has had a slow recovery from the rib cage injury he suffered early in the year, he continued his consecutive cut streak through 7 events (now at 59) and recorded a Top-10 at The Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breaking out with 2 major wins in 2024 and coming off a final round 66 at The Truist Championship<\/mark><\/a> last week, look for Xander to be in contention this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
