Wells Fargo Championship History
We mentioned it in the lead in, but this year’s tournament will be the 20th Wells Fargo Championship. Started back in 2003 as the Wachovia Championship, it quickly became a favorite among the clubhouse.
Quail Hollow Club was the first site to host the tournament and will be doing so for the 18th time this season. There have been two other venues to host the event with Eagle Point Golf Club doing so in 2017 and TPC Potomac last year.
Wells Fargo Championship Past Winners
As the Wells Fargo returns to Quail Hollow Club, we can expect a close battle for the win. 11 of the 17 tournaments held here have been won by 1stroke or in a playoff. That isn’t all that surprising considering most of the Tour’s best players enjoy playing this event and enter the field.
Opening Wells Fargo Championship Odds
There are two guys in particular who absolutely love playing here and are the only two with multiple wins. The first being defending champ Mox Homa who has won 2 of the last 3 Wells Fargo Championship events. With the other being this year’s favorite Rory McIlroy, who has won this tournament 3 times.
