…formerly, the Wachovia (bad loans but got bailed out by Wells Fargo and the American Tax-Payers) Championship!…but, THAT wouldn’t fit on the complementary golf towel so nice, so…its The Quail Hollow Championship now!…How nice! As a tax-payer, I know “I” feel less insulted, now that they powder-coated the name of this 6.5 million dollar pursed event!…April 30th-May 3rd!

Since 2003 South Charlotte’s Quail Hollow Country Club has been home to one of the best non-major events on the PGA Tour attracting all the great players, including Tiger Woods who won the 2007 tournament.

In 2009 the Wachovia Championship was renamed to the Quail Hollow Championship.
