As reported on a few podcasts, there will allegedly be a press conference next Tuesday announcing that Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon course will host the 2025 Truist Championship. This is on account of Quail Hollow hosting the PGA Championship in 2025, so it’d be a one off and return to Charlotte.
If this turns out to be the case, how do you think the course will hold up in a signature event on the PGA tour? Generous fairways and few trees out there, plus it’s only around 7100 yards (par 70). Will the rough need to be grown out all Spring in order to put up any fight for these guys?
I hope this is the case as it’d be awesome to see the world’s best play a golden age design. There are some logistical hurdles that I’m interested to see how they’re dealt with, but a PGA Tour event in Philly at a place with some character would be really cool.
