| to-par = −21 Rory McIlroy (2015) The Truist Championship is a professional golf tournament in North Carolina on the PGA Tour. Held in early May, usually at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, it has attracted some of the top players on the tour. It debuted in 2003 as the Wachovia Championship, was known in 2009 and 2010 as the Quail Hollow Championship, from 2011 to 2024 as the Wells Fargo Championship and became the Truist Championship in 2025.

From 2004–06 and 2011–13, the tournament ended in a playoff. Additionally, the event has one of the tougher finishes on tour with 16, 17, and 18, commonly known as the "Green Mile," often ranked among the PGA Tour's toughest holes. Organized by Champions for Education, Inc., the majority of the charitable proceeds from the tournament benefit Teach for America.

Decades earlier, Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Tour's Kemper Open eleven times, from 1969 through 1979.

Sponsorship

Wachovia, a financial services company, was the title sponsor from the tournament's inception until the company was acquired by Wells Fargo, which chose to remove the Wachovia branding for the 2009 event. After two editions as the Quail Hollow Championship, Wells Fargo attached its name to the event in 2011.

On December 8, 2023, Wells Fargo announced it would not sponsor the tournament after 2024. On August 6, 2024, Truist, a Charlotte-based bank, was announced as the new title sponsor.

In 2017, the tournament was held on the coast in Wilmington at Eagle Point Golf Club, as Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Championship in mid-August. Wilmington hosted the Azalea Open on tour in the 1950s and 1960s at the Donald Ross-designed Cape Fear Country Club; it was a tune-up event for The Masters through 1965, part of the city's Azalea Festival.

In 2022, it was held near Washington, D.C. at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Potomac, Maryland, as Quail Hollow hosted the Presidents Cup in late September.

In 2025, the tournament moved further north to Philadelphia Cricket Club (Wissahickon Course}, due to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow one week later.

Future venues

With Quail Hollow Club hosting the Presidents Cup in 2022, that year's Wells Fargo Championship will be held in Maryland at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, outside Washington, D.C.
