Located less than 20 miles from the national capital on 220 acres of rolling wooded countryside sits this year’s host course for the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.

With Quail Hollow hosting the President’s Cup in September, this year’s Wells Fargo event has moved to a course that plays longer than its yardage, presents few scoreable holes, and has been infamously nicknamed the “Beast of the Beltway.” TPC Potomac last played host to the Quicken Loans National in 2017 and 2018.

With the PGA Championship in Tulsa only two weeks away and next week’s Byron Nelson event only 230 miles away from Southern Hills, numerous high-ranked golfers have opted to skip this week’s event and instead chose TPC Craig Ranch as their final tune-up.

The headliner is defending Wells Fargo champion and seventh-ranked player in the world, Rory McIlroy. Other notables in the field include Tony Finau, Paul Casey, Webb Simpson, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Gary Woodland, Tyrrell Hatton, Abraham Ancer, Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed, Marc Leishman, Russell Henley, and Corey Conners.
