The PGA Tour’s best players are in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the sixth signature event of the season, the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club. With the PGA Championship up next on the schedule, this week will serve as the final tune-up for the year’s second men’s major championship.
With Scottie Scheffler at home, world No. 2 Rory McIlroy is the highest-ranked player in the field and returns to a golf course that has been kind to him over the years. His first Tour win came here in 2010, and he added two more victories in 2015 and 2021. In his last start, McIlroy won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside his good buddy Shane Lowry.
Joining the Northern Irishman in the field are defending champion Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland, among others.
Quail Hollow Club is a par-71 track measuring 7,558 yards.
Now, let’s take a look at 10 of the best players at this tournament dating to 2018. (The event was held elsewhere in 2022 due to the Presidents Cup, and it was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19.)
