The PGA Tour is back in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club. The 2022 edition was forced to TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm due to the staging of the Presidents Cup at QHC later in the year.
Max Homa took home the trophy in Maryland last season, however, Rory McIlroy is the latest winner at Quail Hollow.
McIlroy is making is first start on Tour since missing the weekend at Augusta National nearly a month ago.
World Nos. 1 and 2, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, are taking the week off. Every player is allowed to miss one designated event this season, and they’ve decided to skip the North Carolina stop.
