From 2004–06 and 2011–13, the tournament ended in a playoff. Additionally, the event has one of the tougher finishes on tour with 16, 17, and 18, commonly known as the "Green Mile," often ranked among the PGA Tour's toughest holes. Organized by Champions for Education, Inc.,[2] the majority of the charitable proceeds from the tournament benefit Teach for America.

Decades earlier, Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Tour's Kemper Open eleven times, from 1969 through 1979.

Sponsorship

Wachovia, a financial services company, was the title sponsor from the tournament's inception until the company was acquired by Wells Fargo, which chose to remove the Wachovia branding for the 2009 event.[3] After two editions as the Quail Hollow Championship, Wells Fargo attached its name to the event in 2011.

On December 8, 2023, Wells Fargo announced it would not sponsor the tournament after 2024.[4] On August 6, 2024, Truist, a Charlotte-based bank, was announced as the new title sponsor.
