Truist Championship 2025 Begins May 8 at Wissahickon Course

The 2025 Truist Championship, previously known as the Wells Fargo Championship, is being held for the first time at the Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course, a historic venue designed by A.W. Tillinghast. With Quail Hollow preparing for the PGA Championship, the event draws a strong 72-player field, including four-time winner and defending champion Rory McIlroy, who enters as the betting favorite following his recent Masters victory. Notably, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is skipping the event, but the rest of the top 25 in the FedExCup Standings are participating. Predictive models and expert analyses highlight McIlroy's strong form, with some simulations giving him a better-than-even chance of finishing in the top 10. The Wissahickon Course's layout emphasizes precision and course management, potentially leveling the playing field for emerging talents like Ludvig Åberg. The championship serves as a crucial tune-up for many players ahead of next week's PGA Championship.
