US PGA Championship: Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin set to make debut at Quail Hollow


Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin is set to make his third major appearance at next week’s US PGA Championship.

McKibbin, 22, played in last year’s US Open and Open Championship, finishing tied 41st and tied 66th.

Earlier this year, the world number 115 opted to skip his debut season on the PGA Tour and instead joined Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII LIV Golf team.

McKibbin has earned two top-10s on the Saudi-backed tour and most recently finished 47th in South Korea.

The US PGA Championship takes place at Quail Hollow in North Carolina from 15-18 May.

American Xander Schauffele is the defending champion while McKibbin’s fellow Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy will attempt to win back-to-back majors after his historic Masters triumph last month.

McKibbin and McIlroy will be part of a strong Irish contingent in Charlotte alongside Shane Lowry, Seamus Power and 2008 champion Padraig Harrington.
