Mandatory Credit: Jeff Romance-Imagn Images The field list for the Truist Championship is out and, once again, Scottie Scheffler is not on it.
The World No. 1 opted not to compete at the $20 million signature event one week before the second major of the season, the PGA Championship.
The rest of the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field, announced Friday, except for eighth-ranked Russell Henley. The tournament will be played May 7-10 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Scheffler also opted out of the Truist in 2025, when it was moved to Philadelphia Cricket Club for one year because Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Championship the following week.
Scheffler went on to claim his third major and first PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, but that wasn’t enough to entice him to play the course again this year.
Scheffler has won just once on tour this year — at The American Express in January — but he has four other top-five finishes that include back-to-back second-place showings at the Masters and the RBC Heritage.
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, who’s sitting out this week’s Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral, will endeavor to win his fifth tournament at Quail Hollow. When the Truist was known as the Wells Fargo Championship, McIlroy lifted the trophy in 2010, 2015, 2021 and 2024.
