This past weekend, the Wells Fargo Championship saw some its largest crowds in the tournament’s history, with the top names in golf going head-to-head, right here in the Queen City. Tiger Woods returned to compete, along with Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day and 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed.
Jason Day shot a 2-under 69 on Sunday to win the tournament by 2 strokes over Aaron Wise and Nick Watney, but Tiger Woods may have won in overall fan appreciation.
This was the first time Woods played in Charlotte in 6 years, and while he didn’t shoot the lowest score, he certainly won the hearts of his fans;

Having not played at the @WellsFargoGolf in six years, it really meant a lot to me to receive so much love and support from the fans all week. I won’t forget it, thanks again Charlotte.
