The PGA Tour’s best players — minus world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as he’s expected to become a father any day now — are in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the sixth signature event of the year, the Wells Fargo Championship. Four trips around Quail Hollow Club will serve as the final tune-up for the second men’s major championship of the season, the PGA Championship, slated for next week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
Rory McIlroy is the highest-ranked player in the field and is coming off a win alongside Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The Northern Irishman has used Quail Hollow as a personal playground over the years, winning in 2010, 2015 and 2021. He’ll be joined in the field by defending champion Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland, among others.
