Rory McIlroy's 2024 PGA Championship Chances Hyped by Golf Fans After Wells Fargo Win
Rory McIlroy has notched his second PGA Tour win of the 2024 season.
After winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in April, McIlroy followed up the outstanding performance with a win at the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday.
McIlroy finished 17-under par on Sunday at Quail Hollow in North Carolina to beat Xander Schauffele, who finished 12-under par. McIlroy carded a six-under 65 to round out his weekend.
With McIlroy rounding into peak form, fans are liking his chances at next week's PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.

David Gorman @DavidGorman20Only Tiger, Mickelson and Singh with more PGA Tour wins than Rory McIlroy of players born after 1950. And he wasn't even a full-time member earlier in his career. Has won 9 regular European Tour events, most were elite/PGA fields too. Beating the best in the world time and again
Sam Mendelsohn @Mendy_IslandRory McIlroy with one of his best final rounds in a while, but will it help him next week at Valhalla for the PGA Championship? Unsure.But it's worth a sprinkle at +850.
Jonty @jauntiestjontyThat's some round of golf from Rory McIlroy…absolutely loves the place.
Nathan Hubbard @NathanCHubbardThe last place guy is going to finish 37 strokes behind Rory McIlroy.
Ryan Ballengee @RyanBallengeeWhen Rory McIlroy plays like this, and he has maybe a dozen times over the years, watching golf is just so fun. The rare time it all clicks for him is when golf is just made to look so easy.

Greg Allen @gregallenRTELast time Rory McIlroy went to play the PGA Championship in Valhalla, Kentucky, he had won his previous two events….and the run of form became a 'three-in-a-row'. That was 10 years ago. And it was his last major championship victory. As decade bookends go, it would be something.
McIlroy has won a pair of PGA Championships, but his last came in 2014. He's heating up at the right time and it could lead to his first major win in a decade.
The last time McIlroy won a major, the PGA Championship in 2014, he had won the week before, and the 35-year-old admitted he feels like things are setting up in his favor this time around.
"Going to a venue next week where I've won, it feels like the stars are aligning a little bit," McIlroy told CBS' Amanda Balionis. "But I've got a lot of golf to play and a lot of great players to try to beat next week. But going into the next major of the year feeling really good about myself."
