With only one week before the year\u2019s second major, the PGA Tour heads to North Carolina for the Wells Fargo Championship and yet another small-field, no-cut \u201cSignature\u201d event. Located just southeast of downtown Charlotte, Quail Hollow Club has hosted a PGA Tour event almost every year since 2003. Along with the 2017 and 2025 PGA Championship, the world-class course also hosted the prestigious 2022 Presidents Cup.<\/p>\n

Quail Hollow is typically one of the most challenging courses on Tour playing to an average of +0.75 strokes per round. At the two recent majors held here, the course played +1.99 per round. It\u2019s a demanding par-71 that stretches to 7,583 yards from the back tees.<\/p>\n

The tree-lined parkland layout is a favorite among players, combining pristine conditions with scenic, rolling terrain to create one of the most enjoyable walks on tour. Its routing flows seamlessly, with each green leading effortlessly into the next tee just steps away.<\/p>\n

As with any course that has hosted major events, every facet of a golfer\u2019s game will be tested this week. As recent past winners here demonstrate, including\u00a0Wyndham Clark<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span>,\u00a0Rory McIlroy<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0(four times),\u00a0Max Homa<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span>, and\u00a0Jason Day<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span>, distance off the tee and positive long iron play are especially advantageous this week. Another important skill is scrambling for pars on some of the toughest green complexes that players will face all year.<\/p>\n

Said Quail Hollow\u2019s Director of Green and Grounds, Keith Wood, \u201cWe want a fair course, and a challenge,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want it to play long but not soft. Honestly, from my point of view, we just want to see a great competition. On Sunday, as the leaders are making the turn to the back nine, you know, we want to have six or seven guys in contention. That\u2019s exciting, a lot of competition, good drama.\u201d<\/p>\n
