McIlroy Eyes 5th Win at Quail Hollow With $9.6M Already Earned There

No one has had more success at Quail Hollow Club than Rory McIlroy, who has won nearly $10 million in prize money at the course, including four PGA Tour victories.

CHARLOTTE — Rory McIlroy arrives at the PGA Championship set to play in his first major as a Masters champion and Grand Slam winner at a course where he has had more success—and won more money—than any other golfer.

McIlroy has won four times at Quail Hollow Club, earning a combined $9.64 million in prize money, which is more than double anyone else’s winnings at the course. 

The course, at Charlotte’s most exclusive private club, has hosted an annual PGA Tour event since 2003, and previously hosted a different PGA Tour tournament from 1969 to 1979. It also hosted the 2017 PGA Championship and the 2022 Presidents Cup.

McIlroy won his first PGA Tour event in 2010 at Quail Hollow, cashing a $1.17 million check just days before his 21st birthday. Contrast that with last May, when McIlroy took home $3.6 million for winning the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow, which was a signature event on the PGA Tour with a $20 million purse. He won $1.46 million for his 2021 victory at Quail Hollow and $1.28 million in 2015. 

Defending PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele, who has never won at Quail Hollow, has earned $4.49 million in prize money at the venue, largely thanks to high-paying second-place finishes in 2023 and 2024.

Earlier this season, McIlroy became the second golfer to surpass the $100 million mark in career prize money, joining Tiger Woods. His Masters victory was good for another $4.2 million.

Heading into the PGA Championship, McIlroy’s career earnings stand at $104.92 million. This year’s purse will be revealed later this week, but the 2024 tournament handed out a record $18.5 million, including $3.33 million to Schauffele.

Despite McIlroy’s dominance at Quail Hollow during PGA Tour events, he finished tied for 22nd at the 2017 PGA Championship in Charlotte, earning $89,166.
