Wells Fargo Championship 2024

One of the eight signature events of the PGA Tour, the Well Fargo Championship, will commence its 20th edition in 2024 from May 6 to May 12. The other signature events that must not be missed are the Sentry Tournament of Champions, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, RBC Heritage, Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, and Travelers Championship.

The Wells Fargo Championship is anticipated to feature a field of 80 players. The eligibility categories for the field include the top 50 from the FedExCup standings from the previous season.

Plus, the top 10 available and non-exempt FedExCup point earners from the current FedExCup standings, the top five available and non-exempt FedExCup point earners from the previous signature event (RBC Heritage), current tournament winners and PGA Tour members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking, and four sponsor exemptions consisting of PGA Tour members.

There will not be a cut; thus, all four days of competition are scheduled to take place at Quail Hollow Club for spectators. The total prize money for all eight tournaments will be $20 million, with 700 FedExCup points going to the champion.

Last year, Wyndham Clark, with a final score of 265 under 19, defeated Xander Schauffele by 4 shots to win the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. Clark took home 3.6 million as the winner's share.

Wells Fargo Championship History

Established in 2003 as the "Wachovia Championship," the Wells Fargo Championship is a professional golf tournament held in North Carolina. It has been referred to as the "Quail Hollow Championship" earlier. Some of the best players on the tour have attended the event, which is typically held in early May at Charlotte's Quail Hollow Club.

There have been two occasions where the event's location has had to be altered. The first happened in 2017 while Quail Hollow was holding the PGA Championship, and Wells Fargo took place at Wilmington's Eagle Point Golf Club. The other occasion came in 2022, when Wells Fargo was held at the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Maryland, because Quail Hollow was hosting the Presidents Cup.

The tournament finished in a playoff for both the 2004–06 and 2011–13 seasons. Furthermore, the event features one of the most difficult finishes on the circuit, with holes 16, 17, and 18, together referred to as the "Green Mile," frequently ranking among the most difficult on the PGA circuit. The majority of the tournament's charitable revenues, which are organized by Champions for Education, Inc., go toward supporting Teach for America.

Quail Hollow Club, situated in Charlotte, North Carolina's Quail Hollow neighborhood, is a country club and golf course in the Southeast region of the United States. Founded in 1959, with the golf course's opening in 1961, the club is exclusive to members only.

George Cobb, a golf course architect who mostly created courses in the southeast of the country, created the 18-hole championship course at Quail Hollow. Since its 1961 opening, the course has seen multiple renovations, including Arnold Palmer altering a few holes in 1986 and Tom Fazio designing it in 1997, 2003, and again from 2014 to 2016 for the PGA Championship. The course is situated at an average elevation of about 600 feet (185 meters) above sea level.
