This week all of Charlotte is a buzz because of the Wells Fargo Championship” says Greenhalgh. The 2024 Wells Fargo Championship will be one of eight Signature Events on the PGA TOUR schedule, joining Sentry Tournament of Champions, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, RBC Heritage, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and the Travelers Championship.
The field for the Wells Fargo Championship is expected to be approximately 70-80 players with eligibility categories including: Top 50 from the previous season’s FedExCup standings, Top 10 available and not otherwise exempt from current FedExCup standings, Top five available and not otherwise exempt FedExCup points earners from the previous signature event (RBC Heritage), if not exempt from these categories current-year tournament winners and PGA TOUR members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking, and four sponsor exemptions who are PGA TOUR members.
“This year’s tournament will feature no cuts” says Greenhalgh. He adds “so, fans can expect to see players compete at Quail Hollow Club for all four days.” The winner will receive 700 FedExCup points and the total purse will be $20 million. “It will be interesting to see if last year’s champion Wydham Clark can hold onto the title or will it be wrestled away by the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Tony Finau or the many capable golfers in the field” says Greenhalgh.
