Official: Charlotte to host 2017 PGA Championship

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – North Carolina will be the site for the
2017 PGA Championship.

A state government official with knowledge of the decision told
The Associated Press on Monday that the PGA will announce Tuesday
at Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte that the course will be
the site for one of golf’s four majors that year.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid upstaging
the PGA’s announcement.

A public relations firm announced that the Tuesday morning event
will feature Gov. Beverly Perdue, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and
the club’s president.

Quail Hollow has hosted what’s been called the Wachovia
Championship and most recently the Quail Hollow Championship as a
regular PGA stop since its inception in 2003. It will be called the
Wells Fargo Championship in 2011.
