    Wells Fargo Championship preview


    After a week featuring two-man teams at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA TOUR heads to the Queen City of Charlotte as a star-studded field takes on Quail Hollow Club at the Wells Fargo Championship.

    Quail Hollow Club is consistently one of the toughest tracks on TOUR, especially with its "Green Mile" three-hole closing stretch.

    14 of the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings are in the field this week, including defending champion Jason Day and Rory McIlroy, the two-time winner of the Wells Fargo Championship.

    Here's a look at some of the Featured Groups (FedExCup ranking in parenthesis).
