The PGA Tour makes its final stop before the second major of the season this week, heading to the iconic Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte for the Truist Championship. With a stacked 72-player signature event field and a $20 million purse on the line, all eyes are on the Queen City.
Rory McIlroy returns to a course where he's practically made himself at home—the Northern Irishman is a five-time winner at Quail Hollow and comes in fresh off a historic Masters victory. McIlroy became just the fourth player ever to win back-to-back green jackets, and after a well-earned post-Augusta break, he's ready to pick up where he left off. He'll face stiff competition from a world-class field that includes top-5 players Cameron Young and Matt Fitzpatrick, both of whom are looking to make a statement before the season's second major at Aronimink next week.
Mother Nature, however, has thrown a curveball into the mix. Inclement weather has forced adjusted tee times for both Thursday and Friday, with the field now grouped into threesomes teeing off from both the 1st and 10th holes. It's a format that could shake up the early leaderboard and reward players who adapt quickly to the conditions.
Golf Channel's live coverage of the first round begins at 2 p.m. EDT. Here's everything you need to know to catch all the action, including the updated tee times and marquee groupings.
