Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Jon Rahm will be the favorites to watch out for this week in Charlotte, where the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship will be held as usual. But they are not untouchables. Players with longer odds can pull off surprises and one of them could win it all on Sunday. Read more about three of these sleepers below.
Homa is the defending champion of this event, which is everything you need to know about him with respect to the upcoming tournament at Quail Hollow Club. However, no one has won back-to-back Wells Fargo titles (including its previous iterations). What can’t be denied is that Homa is in a position to make history at Wells Fargo this weekend. He is coming off a T6 at the Valspar Championship and has four top 10s in 18 starts this season, including his win at The Genesis Invitational in February.
Wise last saw action at the RBC Heritage where he failed to make the cut. That is his sixth cut in 14 starts this season. He’s been consistently inconsistent this season. Aside from those missed cuts, Wise has made the top 25 four times and the top 10 once, so far this season. His best finish so far was a runner-up performance at the Mayakoba Golf Classic presented by UNIFIN in December 2020. What makes him an enticing sleeper is the fact that he is 2 of 2 in his career at Quail Hollow Club. He finished solo second there during the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship.
English is coming off a missed cut at the RBC Heritage, which snapped his streak of four made cuts in a row. Nevertheless, he has a win to show this season, having won the Sentry Tournament of Champions back in January. That’s one of his five top 5s this season. English last played at Quails Hollow Club in 2016, finishing 17th in that year’s Wells Fargo Championship.
