CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Wells Fargo Championship is just around the corner, bringing some of the world's best golfers to Charlotte's Quail Hollow Club for the prestigious tournament.
The 2023 Wells Fargo Championship events tee off on Monday, May 1, with the Brighthouse Financial Pro-Am. The first round of the tournament begins on May 4.
The Wells Fargo Championship has been held at Quail Hollow Club every year but two since its inception in 2003. Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington hosted the event in 2017 due to Quail Hollow having the PGA Championship, while TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Maryland played host to the tournament last year while Quail Hollow hosted the Presidents Cup.
When is the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship?
The 2023 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow runs from Monday, May 1, through Sunday, May 4. The actual tournament begins Thursday, May 4, and runs through Sunday.
As is standard protocol with all PGA events, the field will be cut to 70 players after two rounds. Any player ranked 71st or worst will be cut from the tournament and will not compete in the last two rounds.
What is the Pro-Am?
A pro-am (pro-amateur for those who don't follow golf) is a friendly tournament where fans can pay to team up with a PGA pro for a round of 18 holes at Quail Hollow. Monday's Pro-Am will feature 28 teams made up of one PGA pro and four amateurs. This event is always a fan favorite and usually includes some Charlotte-area celebrities, such as Panthers and Hornets players, NASCAR drivers and other public figures.
A second Pro-Am on Wednesday will feature 52 teams made up of two PGA pros and three amateurs.
