Rory McIlroy Returns to Action This Week at Quail Hollow

Rory McIlroy hasn’t played since slipping on the Green Jacket—he skipped two Signature events during that span (RBC Heritage, Cadillac Championship)—but he’ll be back in action this week as the PGA TOUR heads to Quail Hollow for the Truist Championship.

Last year, the Truist was played at Philly Cricket, so you could say McIlroy will be “defending” his title from 2024, when he won by five shots over Xander Schauffele. In all, he’s won in Charlotte four times and has six other top-10 finishes across 13 starts. It’s fair to say he’s turned Quail Hollow into his personal ATM.

While the World No. 2 is set to tee it up the week before the PGA Championship at Aronimink, the same can’t be said for the man ahead of him. Scottie Scheffler has chosen to take the week off, which isn’t all that surprising, as he’s said on several occasions that he doesn’t like to play the week before major championships.

Regardless, the field will be stacked for the sixth Signature event of the season.
