But he’s now back and is headlining the field at the Truist Championship which was previously known as the Wells Fargo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McIlroy<\/a> has won this event four times, including last year when he swept his rivals aside, winning by 5 strokes.<\/p>\n

He claimed all of his victories at Quail Hollow, but the venue has changed due to it hosting the PGA Championship<\/a> next week. <\/p>\n

It means the Philadelphia Cricket Club is playing host to a field also including Xander Schauffele<\/a>, Collin Morikawa<\/a> and Justin Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
