The PGA Tour heads off to Charlotte North Carolina this week and pitches up at the Quail Hollow Club originally designed by George Cobb in 1961.

The course has undergone a series of improvements and redesigns, including modifications to several holes by Arnold Palmer in 1986 and a redesign by Tom Fazio in 1997. The course measures 7,442-yards, it’s very much a shot shapers course from the tee and around its tree-lined doglegs, the greens are very fast here during the tournament and a premium will be placed on that aspect of the game. 

The changes to the course for last years PGA Championship were a new type of grass called Champion Ultradwarf Bermuda grass has been installed on the greens replacing the bent grass. Thousands of trees have been removed. Lastly there has been a new designed start to the course with the old first and second holes being made into a 540-yard par 4!! A new par 3 second hole and the 11th has seen extra bunkering added. 

The four par-5s are all reachable in two and there are two drivable par-4s at the eighth and fourteenth. The 14th measures 346 yards, a 15-acre lake frames the left side of the hole and the rough on that side slopes down to the water. The narrow landing area measures about 27 yards across and is guarded by two bunkers on each side. The two-tiered green has bunkers guarding the left front and middle of the green, and a collection area waits just off the right front of the green for short approach shots hit off line. 

There should be plenty of birdies and eagles this week but don’t expect the pro’s to tear the course apart, the average winning score here is 12.5 under par.

My tips to Win:

With three wins in this event, a runner up, two Top 5s and three other Top 10s it’s safe to say Rory McIlroy 8/1 – with Bet365 – loves teeing it up at Quail Hollow

With two wins and a Top 10 finish here last year Max Homa 25/1 – with UniBet – will be looking forward to being back in Charlotte this week. With only two Top 10 finishes I am sure Max would have thought he woiuld have been challenging more this year, but one of those Top 10s was his third-place finish at The Masters which I am sure he will take a lot of confidence from

From his five starts in this event Hideki Matsuyama 30/1 – with Bet365 – has two Top 10 finishes, his best finish over this course actually came at the 2017 PGA Championship that was held here when he had a Top 5 finish. Hideki already has a win in these elevated events and has only been outside the Top 25 three times in his ten starts this season and has two Top 10 finishes in his last three starts

Each-way tips:

A past champion of this event is Brian Harman 50/1 – with UniBet – but he won it in the year that the PGA Championship was being played here so his win actually came at Eagle Point Golf Club. Having said that Brian had a Top 15 finish at the PGA Championship that year and has four other Top 25 finish here

I did tip Stephan Jäger 60/1 – with UniBet – last week where he had a Top 20 finish at the CJ Cup his second in his last two starts. Stephan has only played in this event four times and has two missed cuts, a sixth-place finish and just missed out on a Top 25 finish last year by a shot, but I feel he comes into this week a more confident player and I think these are good odds for him this week

Outside tip:

Coming into this week in good form is Adam Schenk 90/1 – with LiveScoreBet – who has four Top 20 finishes in his last six starts and one of those was a Top 5 at the Texas Open. Adam also opened and closed with a pair of 66s at last weeks CJ Cup

As always good luck
