CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two more big names have joined the field for the Wells Fargo Championship.
Colin Morikawa, a two-time major champion, and Xander Schauffele, last year's runner up at Quail Hollow Club, will tee it up in Charlotte for the signature event.
"Our field is going to be loaded," Tournament Director Gary Sobba said. "Everybody's here all four days with 70 of the best players in the world. I can't tell you how excited we are."
Morikawa won the 2021 Open Championship, and the 2020 PGA Championship.
Schauffele finished second in 2023 to defending champion Wyndham Clark, who will defend his title this year.
The Wells Fargo Championship is one of eight Signature Events on the PGA Tour, meaning it draws 70-80 players from a variety of eligibility categories:
- Top 50 from previous season's FedExCup standings
- Top 10 available and not otherwise exempt from current FedExCup standings
- Top 5 available and not otherwise exempt FedExCup points earners from previous signature event (RBC Heritage)
- Current-year tournament winners and PGA Tour members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking
- Four sponsor exemptions who are PGA Tour members
There will be no cut at the event, so golfers will compete all four days.
The 2024 Wells Fargo Champion receives 700 FedExCup points and the total purse is $20 million.
The Wells Fargo Championship is May 6-12 at Quail Hollow Club.
