CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem and Quail Hollow Club President Johnny Harris are pleased to announce an agreement between the two organizations that names Quail Hollow Club as the host site for The Presidents Cup 2021.  The partnership brings this prestigious, international, team match-play event into the Southeastern United States for the first time in what will be its 27-year history in 2021.

The Presidents Cup 2021 will take place September 30-October 3

 

 

QH is also the site of the 2017 PGA Championship.

 

Some nice golf (in addition to the Wells Fargo) coming to Charlotte.

Nice!

 

Doubt I'll still be alive in 2021 but if by some miracle I am.....I will so be there. 

[DirtyMagic97]

Quality. I'll be there if I'm still in the country.

[Panthro]

Hopefully my future membership will allow me to get tickets in 2012

So, in the years 2017 and now 2021, will QH lose the Wells Fargo date?  Can one course host mulitple events in the same year?

In 2017 the Wells is coming here to Wilmington at Eagle Point.

 

Not sure what they'll do in 2021, may not be as big of a deal since the Wells is in May and the Presidents cup is in September.

The rules of the PGA state the same course which hosts the PGA cannot also host a regular tour event. This is the reason the Wells Fargo is moving to Wilmington that year. It also allows the PGA to tear up the course and redesign it as they see fit for the tourney... at the expense of the membership.

 

Sedgefield CC in Greensboro was already experiencing some financial strain as a result of the declining and disappearing furniture industry they so heavily relied upon for membership and revenue when they decided to rebuild the golf course closer to the original Donald Ross design. They assessed members, lost some more as a result of the assessment, and incurred a pretty substantial debt just to lure the PGA and the Wyndham Championship back to Sedgefield. Sedgefield CC was sold within the past couple years to McConnell Golf for pennies on the dollar.
