Rory McIlroy highlighted the 2014 PGA Championship win and similarities this year

Rory Mcllroy is also in great form and highlighted the coincidence of winning two prior events to the 2014 PGA Championship, a feat he has repeated this year as well. He said (via Ten Golf):

"It's really funny. So going into Valhalla in 2014 I'd won my last two starts and going into this year I've won my last two starts. So just need to try to replicate, whatever I did in 2014 just try to do that all over again."

He emerged victorious in his last two starts at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship and the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans with Shane Lowry. Before the 2014 PGA Championship, he won the Open Championship and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Mcllroy looked positive about this year's competition. He further said (via Ten Golf):

"But I think I'm feeling really good with my game. I need to stay in my own little world next week and not get too far ahead of myself. But if I can step onto the first tee at Valhalla on Thursday and feel as good about my game as I did today I think I'll have a good chance."

He has had eight top-10 finishes in the 15 starts at the competition. He has won the tournament twice in 2012 and 2014. In 2012, he got better off David Lynn by eight strokes.

His performance in the PGA Championships from his debut in 2009 is as follows:
