The Wells Fargo Championship, which has a $20 million purse since it’s a designated event, will be May 4-7 from Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Some top players, including Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler, have opted to skip this week. Still, 21 of the top 30 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are in the field, including Rory McIlroy.
