Golf Live Lines: Known in 2003 as the Wachovia Championship, and later as the Quail Hollow Championship, the tournament is now called the Wells Fargo Championship, this is a PGA Tour golf tournament held in at North Carolina, Quail Hollow Club in early May. It has attracted some of the top players on the tour. In 2011, the tournament has a $6.5 million purse with a winner's prize of $1.17 million.

This Championship rapidly became one of the top main events on the Tour since its inauguration in 2003. While serving as a principal fundraiser in support of youth education, with the admirable intent of helping to increase the potential of every child.

This event is known to have one of the tougher finishes on the PGA Tour, with holes 16, 17, and 18 often ranked among the Tour's toughest holes.

The 2008 event had Anthony Kim as a winner, setting the tournament record with his 16-under-par score of 272. In 2009 the tournament had its largest purse ever, $6.5 million, with Sean O’Hair pocketing the highest winner's share ever, $1,170,000, for his efforts.

The event is sponsored by Wells Fargo, which purchased Wachovia in 2008. In 2009, Wells Fargo dropped the Wachovia name from the tournament for marketing purposes.

2012 Wells Fargo Championship Winner - Fowler finds the right place for 1st tour win

Rickie Fowler kept telling anyone who would listen that his first PGA Tour win was coming soon. Considering the location, it made perfect sense.

Quail Hollow is where Anthony Kim, fearless at age 22, won by five shots in 2008 for his first tour victory in 2008. It's where Rory McIlroy, a 20-year-old from Northern Ireland projected for greatness, set the course record with a 62 in the final round two years ago to capture his first U.S. win.

Perhaps another star was born at the Wells Fargo Championship. Fowler, a 23-year-old from California, lived up his hype in a big way Sunday. Since turning pro 2 1/2 years ago, Fowler has scored little more than style points with his mop-top hair, the flat-billed cap he wears backward in interviews, his head-to-toe orange that has become his trademark in the final round and impeccable manners that has made him a favorite among fans and his peers.

He added plenty of substance in a playoff packed with pressure and a budding rival in McIlroy.

From 133 yards to a pin so scary that the 18th hole had yielded only four birdies all day, Fowler took dead aim with a 51-degree wedge. Anything less than perfect, and his ball could have come up short and rolled toward the tiny stream left of the green. But this was no time to play it safe.

2011 Winner: Lucas Glover ends drought, wins Wells Fargo playoff

Lucas Glover would be the first to admit he rolled into the Wells Fargo Championship with absolutely no indication he was on the verge of a breakout week.

He hadn’t stayed a weekend since the Florida Swing, missing his past three cuts. His best finish in 2011 was a tie for 20th. The last time he cracked the top 10 came last August. That 2009 U.S. Open victory? A distant memory.

His alignment corrected, Glover’s 3-under-par 69 Sunday was good enough to get into a playoff, where he beat former Clemson teammate Jonathan Byrd for his first victory since capturing the 2009 U.S. Open.

2010 Winner

Rory Mcllroy is the 2010 Quail Hollow Championship winner. He ended winning over Master champion Phil Mickelson. Starting the final round today, Mickelson was only two strokes off the leader, Billy Mayfair.

Mr Rory walks away with $1.2 million for his win. Mickelson earns a cool $702,000, and Angel Cabrera gets $442,000.

Mr Mcllroy ended 15 under par, a course record. Rounds went 72, 73, 66, and an incredible 62 final round. Mickelson was 70, 68, 71, 68 finishing 11 under par. Cabrera went 70, 67, 73, and 68 finishing 10 under.

With this winning McIlroy recorded his first PGA Tour win after shooting 62 in the final round. The round set a new course record, and concluded with six consecutive scores of three. He became the first player since Tiger Woods to win a PGA Tour event prior to his 21st birthday.
