The PGA Tour returns to Quail Hollow, the host of last yearās PGA Championship.
Scottie Scheffler won here a year ago as the course was set up for major competition, but for the Truist Championship, itās expected to play extremely differently.
Typically, when the PGA Tour comes to this course, itās a bombersā paradise. Thatās why Rory McIlroy has had such incredible success at Quail Hollow, winning there four times.

Kim played a practice round at Quail Hollow before the 2026 Truist Championship, and then took to his highly popular X account to share his verdict on the conditions afterward.
He posted, āQuail Hollow conditions for you sickos.
āGreens FIRM and quite fast⦠but rain coming wed night-thur morning.
āRough is not like the PGA last yr. Much more manageable.ā
So thanks to the rain, weāre going to get a soft golf course, despite attempts to make the greens firm and fast for the players. That, combined with āmanageableā rough, and weāre going to get a birdie-fest this week at the Truist.
Quail Hollow didnāt prove to be a popular PGA Championship venue in 2025. Justin Thomas said the course lacked any real strategy. It was just long.
And six-time PGA Tour winner, Hunter Mahan, found a way to compare the golf course to a Kardashian. He said, āI guess I would say Quail Hollow is like a Kardashian. Itās very modern, beautiful and well-kept. But it lacks a soul or character.ā
The course is expected to play very differently for The Truist Championship compared to last year's PGA Championship, which was set up for major competition.
Quail Hollow is known as a bombers' paradise because its layout typically favors players who can hit the ball long distances, contributing to the success of players like Rory McIlroy.
