2023 Wells Fargo Championship: Predictions, expert picks, odds, field rankings, best bets at Quail Hollow

The Wells Fargo Championship returns to Quail Hollow Club after a one-year hiatus

The PGA Tour schedule really heats up as the calendar flips to May, beginning with the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship this week. In what will be the last start for many of the best players before the second major championship of the year -- the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club -- Quail Hollow Club will provide a stern examination of all aspects of one's game.

An omission from last year's playing schedule while hosting the 2022 Presidents Cup, Quail Hollow has been a welcomed spot for many of the top names in this field. Rory McIlroy headlines the action as the world No. 3 player makes his first start since a disappointing missed cut at the 2023 Masters. McIlroy withdrew from the field at the RBC Heritage without reason, and has been an omission from the weekend in four of the eight designated events thus far.

This should be an ideal landing spot for McIlroy, however; he claimed his first victory at Quail Hollow and has since won twice more including 2021 when the tournament was last held outside the Queen City. Rickie Fowler and Max Homa are a pair to have first entered the winner's circle on this property while Jason Day's last win came here in 2018.
