The 107th PGA Championship tees off today in Charlotte at the Quail Hollow Club. This week marks the first time the prestigious tournament returns Charlotte since 2017.
The tournament officially runs from May 12–18, but due to today’s rain, spectators will not be allowed on the course today. Monday tickets and parking passes will be honored on Tuesday or Wednesday, said tournament director Jason Soucy.
The course, which hosted Justin Thomas’s breakthrough major win eight years ago, has undergone significant changes ahead of this year’s championship. In 2023, Quail Hollow closed for months to renovate greens, bunkers, tees, and layout, including new tees on holes 9, 13, and 16.
The 16th hole, now stretched to 529 yards, brings the fairway bunker into play and opens the demanding “Green Mile” closing stretch, which also includes the 223-yard par-3 17th and 494-yard par-4 18th.

This week marks Quail Hollow’s second time hosting a PGA Championship, joining Pinehurst (1936) and Tanglewood (1974) as the only North Carolina venues to do so.
The historic club has hosted major events since 1969, including the Kemper Open, World Seniors Invitational, and the Wachovia/Quail Hollow Championship, now known as the Wells Fargo Championship.
Earlier this season, Rory McIlroy captured the 2024 Wells Fargo title at Quail Hollow and followed up with a career-defining win at The Masters, completing the career Grand Slam.
The PGA Championship is the second major of the year and one of golf’s prestigious four, alongside the Masters, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship.
