The Wells Fargo Championship is a relatively young stop of the PGA TOUR. This event traces its roots to 2003 when it was still known as the Wachovia Championship.

In 2009, the tournament got renamed Quail Hollow Championship with the purse hitting $6.5 million. The Wells Fargo Championship as we know now started in 2011 with a purse of $6.5 million. The purse improved to $6.7 million in 2013 then got increased by $200,000 in each of the following years (except in 2020). Rory McIlroy is the only multi-winner of this tournament, having topped the Quail Hollow Championship in 2010 and the Wells Fargo Championship in 2015, pocketing $1.17 million and $1.278 million, respectively.
