Complete Course Statistics:

• The Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club’s course has had a lot of footfall from some of the best players on the PGA Tour. Quail Hollow has hosted the Wells Fargo Championship frequently over the last 25 years. The Presidents Cup was also played at Quail Hollow in 2022 and back in 2017, Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Championship.
• Last year, Quail Hollow hosted the Wells Fargo Championship, with a lot of the players struggling over the four day competition. The course has a par score of 71, and unfortunately, across the tournament, the player average score was 71.730 per 18 holes. There were 112 double-bogeys, 906 bogeys, 2950 pars, 899 birdies and 24 eagles.
• The most successful hole for the players that year was the 7th. There were 131 birdies and 13 eagles recorded across the tournament. But which was the worst hole for golfers? The answer to that is the 18th. The players recorded 23 double bogeys and 97 bogeys. Did the pressure of the 18th hole get to the players on tour?
• Quail Hollow is thought of to be one of the most challenging courses on the PGA Tour. The technical brilliance that the opening holes demand and the complexity of the greens mean the first six holes pose a difficult challenge for any player on the course; they include 4 par-4s and a par-3. The pin placement is also very tricky, often found on steep hills, making it difficult for the ball to roll close to the hole.

Player Performance Correlation Analysis:

• We’ll take a look at PGA Championship statistics like driving distance, accuracy averages, and the average of greens in regulation from the Wells Fargo Championship back in 2021 to give you a better understanding of which player you should put your bet on.
• The course was ranked 35th in driving distance out of the 51 courses on the PGA Tour, with the average drive of all holes being 299.0 yards. There was a 54.09% fairway hit rate, which was the 9th most accurate for driving accuracy. The course ranked 10th for Greens in Regulation out of the 51 courses across the PGA Tour.
• Rory McIlroy, who was the winner of the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship, was second in driving distance, averaging 322.7 yards per drive. He unfortunately placed T-76th in driving accuracy, only hitting 19 of the 54 fairways. He made up for this statistic with his Greens in Regulation, where he finished 3rd, hitting 54 of 72 greens.
• Aldrich Potgieter is currently leading the driving distance average in the 2025 PGA Tour with an average of 324.10 yards per drive. Takumi Kanaya is presently leading in driving accuracy this season with an average of 73.6% of his drives landing in the fairway. Vincent Norrman is currently leading the 2025 PGA Tour with the highest average of Greens in regulation, at 73.4%.

The Green Mile:

• The final three holes at the Quail Hollow Club are known by players gone by as the “Green Mile”. They’ve been the most challenging three finishing holes on the PGA Tour since 2003, with an average of +0.904. The tactical layout and strategic placement of hazards, including water, bunkers, and tight fairways make them a golfing enemy, even to the elite.
• In the 2020-21 season, the “Green Mile” was the toughest finishing three-hole stretch on the PGA Tour of non-major venues, with an average score of +0.85. Since 2003, there have been 1,646 balls in the water on this three-hole stretch.

Statistical Projections for 2025:

• Numerous high-profile golfers have won at Quail Hollow. This list includes the likes of McIlroy, Max Homa and Wyndham Clark. A significant factor in being successful at Quail Hollow is to drive the ball long and hit fairways.
• Our prediction on who will win the 2025 PGA Championship lands with Ludwig Aberg. The Swedish native is still looking for his first major career win. In his short career so far, he is currently ranked 5th on the PGA Tour and finished 2nd in the 2024 Masters, followed by a 7th-place finish in the 2025 Masters. He was also a key part of the 2023 European Ryder Cup team, which achieved success in Rome.
• Ludwig plays his best golf when all the attention is on him and isn’t easily fazed by the pressure surrounding the course.
