The course hosts the Truist Championship (formerly the Wells Fargo Championship) on the PGA Tour (2003–present), though not in 2017 (it was held in Wilmington at the Eagle Point Golf Club) and 2025 (it was held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club). In 2016, it played as a par-72 at 7,575 yards (6,927 m).[3] It was also the home of the tour's Kemper Open (1969–1979) and the Champions Tour PaineWebber World Seniors Invitational in the 1980s.

Third round

Saturday, May 17, 2025

World number one Scottie Scheffler shot 65, the low round of the day, to take the lead at 11-under-par. At the 304-yard (278 m) par-4 14th, he hit his tee shot to within 3 feet of the hole and made eagle. He birdied three of his final four holes to establish a three-shot advantage over Alex Norén.[17] Prior to the PGA Championship, Norén had played only one tournament in 2025 due to tearing a hamstring tendon in January.[18] In 39 previous major starts, his best finish was a tie for sixth at the 2017 Open Championship.[19]

Two-time major champion and 2024 PGA Championship runner-up Bryson DeChambeau held the outright lead after 15 holes, but dropped three shots in the closing stretch, including hitting his tee shot into the water on 17, to fall back to 5-under-par.[20]

Final round

Sunday, May 18, 2025

World number one Scottie Scheffler shot 71, finished at 11-under-par, five strokes over Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley in final round. Scheffler won his first PGA Championship and third major title. Jon Rahm was briefly tied with Scheffler after a birdie at the difficult 11th and Scheffler's +2 front nine. However, Rahm went +5 over the last three holes, the "Green Mile", to fall to tied-8th. Bryson DeChambeau got to −7 with a birdie at 15 but bogeyed the last to finish tied for second. Harris English birdied six of the last 12 holes to join DeChambeau as runner-up, and Davis Riley recovered from a triple bogey at 7 to join the group with a 73. It is the best major finish for both English and Riley.[2][21]
