The Philadelphia Cricket Club in Flourtown will host a new PGA Tour event from May 8 through May 11, 2025 with Truist Financial Corporation as the title sponsor, officials announced last week.
The renamed Truist Championship (formerly the Wells Fargo Championship) will debut at the Wissahickon Course before a six-year run at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, beginning in 2026.
“The Philadelphia Cricket Club is proud to partner with Truist and the PGA TOUR to host this Signature Event in Philadelphia,” said Philadelphia Cricket Club President Tom Sheridan. “The 2025 Truist Championship will bring the 70 best golfers in the world back to Philadelphia which has a rich golf history and played a pivotal role in the evolution of this great game on a national level.”
The seven-year deal is estimated to be worth more than $200 million, the Philadelphia Business Journal said.
“We are delighted to welcome Truist to the PGA TOUR family as the new title sponsor of the Truist Championship, a Signature Event that has continued to grow in size and stature since its introduction to the golf calendar more than two decades ago,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Starting in year one at The Philadelphia Cricket Club followed by an extended run at the Quail Hollow Club, the Truist Championship will be a best-in-class experience for fans thanks to the support of a hometown title sponsor that holds a vested interest in positively impacting its local communities.”
Truist CEO Bill Rogers described the course at 6025 West Valley Green Road as “iconic” and Philadelphia itself a “vibrant community” and a “sports town…. dying for some golf.”
Tickets will go on sale near the end of this year at TruistChampionship.com.
