This weekend marks the 8th designated event on the PGA Tour meaning a stacked field is set to take part at Quail Hollow in North Carolina. It is also the last designated event before the PGA Championship, which is set to take place in just two weeks’ time.

Despite its elevated status and the $20m purse, the top two golfers in the world have decided not to take part. Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler are yet to miss a designated event this year, which means they will use their allowance of one skip at the Wells Fargo Championship. As per the rules, golfers part of the Players Impact Program (PIP) are only allowed to skip one designated event each year without punishment.

While their absence will be disappointing for tournament organisers and fans alike, they will be buoyed by the fact that Rory Mcilroy is taking part after skipping the last designated event. The Northern Irishman hasn’t competed since missing the cut at the Masters but is due to tee it up at Quail Hollow this week, a place where he has enjoyed success in the past.

There was a three-way tie for second last year, with Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley and Cameron Young all falling just short of Homa. The 32-year-old is in the field once again this year and will fancy his chances of retaining his trophy after enjoying a successful 2023 to date.
