The PGA Tour returned to Quail Hollow in 2003 with the Wachovia Championship, now the Wells Fargo Championship, which has been held every year since except 2020 when it was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Additionally the club hosted the 2017 PGA Championship and that year the Wells Fargo was held at Eagle Point in Wilmington, North Carolina. The club is also scheduled to host the PGA Championship for a second time in 2025Quail Hollow was designed by golf course architect George Cobb who designed several golf courses, primarily in the southeastern United States. Opened in 1961, it underwent a series of improvements, including modifications of several holes by Arnold Palmer in 1986, and a redesign by Tom Fazio in 1997, 2003, and from 2014 to 2016 in preparation for the PGA Championship. South of central Charlotte, the average elevation of the course is approximately 600 feet (185 m) above sea level. The course is part of an extensive housing development.
Quail Hollow is scheduled to host the fourteenth edition of the Presidents Cup in 2021.}} For the event, the courses will be rerouted. The hole arrangement changes starting at the 8th hole. After the 8th hole, players will skip the 9th to 11th holes, and will then play the 12th hole, and continue. After the 18th hole, players will play holes 9-11. The realignment of the course was designed for match play to assure most matches will reach the 16th to 18th holes at the course, with the only possible ways to avoid the signature "Green Mile" is to win 7&6 or better.
