Who is playing in the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship? Field, top players, and predictions

The Wells Fargo Championship for 2023 is scheduled to take place at the Quail Hollow Club on the PGA Tour this week. This marks its return to the traditional venue after being held at TPC Potomac in Maryland in the previous year because of the President’s Cup. Max Homa emerged victorious at TPC Potomac. This tournament is the last sanctioned event before the PGA Championship.

Quail Hollow Club is significant for golf lovers as it witnessed Justin Thomas’ first major victory in 2017. This PGA Tour destination is highly prestigious, designed by George Cobb, and opened for play in the 1960s. In 2017, Tom Fazio upgraded the course to challenge modern players better. Its most notable feature is the “Green Mile,” a set of closing holes that’s notoriously difficult. Quail Hollow is consistently ranked among the top five most challenging courses on the tour.

The PGA Championship is just two weeks away, and golf’s top players are gearing up for the major tournament by practicing and competing at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship for a prize pool of $20 million. Nearly all of the world’s best-ranked golfers, except Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler, will participate.
