Wells Fargo Championship
Wells Fargo Championship : Ballooning: Jason Day's unusual way of dealing with chronic pain. Jason Day will try to win another Wells Fargo Championship this week and he hopes blowing into a balloon will help him do it.
Day, the defending champion, has come to Charlotte's Quail Hollow Club feeling pretty good, which is saying something considering the constant struggles he's had with back pain over his 11-year PGA career, which includes a number of flare-ups in 2019.
But even without Woods' presence, the Wells Fargo field is packed with star power. Rory McIlroy, who has won this event twice (by seven strokes in 2015 and by four strokes in 2010), will look to bounce back from a quiet week at the Masters, his last worldwide start. Phil Mickelson, Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Rose will also be making their first starts since Augusta. As will Rickie Fowler, another former winner of this event in 2012, his first win on the PGA Tour. Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, Jason Day, Tony Finau and Patrick Reed will also tee it up in the Tar Heel state this week.
TV Schedule
The Golf Channel will carry live coverage on Thursday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, as well as Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. CBS will take over on the weekend beginning at 3 p.m.
Eight of the world's top 20 feature at Quail Hollow, venue of the 2017 PGA Championship, where McIlroy and Rose are both returning to action for the first time since the Masters.
McIlroy arrives in North Carolina as a two-time winner of the event, while Rose is looking to bounce back from missing the cut at Augusta for the first time in his career.
Two sides of the pace-of-play debate in professional golf emerged last week but the polarizing issue is not as cut and dry as some would like to believe.
