Will Rory McIlroy be at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship? Availability explored

Rory McIlroy is set to tee off at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship, the next signature event on the PGA Tour.

Scheduled from May 9 to 12 at Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club, the tournament boasts a stellar field comprised of players who qualified through various criteria, such as finishing in the top 50 of the prior year's FedEx Cup standings, current-year winners, and sponsor exemptions.

McIlroy secured his name in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings last year, making him eligible to compete at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

Although the tournament includes most of the top-ranked players on the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler is not committed to the event, as confirmed by PGA Tour Communications on its X (formerly Twitter) account.

The final field for the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship will be finalized after this week's CJ Cup Byron Nelson event.

The 2024 Wells Fargo Championship will showcase some of the PGA Tour's top-ranked players, including Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, and Collin Morikawa. Wyndham Clark will defend his title at the event next week.
