Quail Hollow is a staple on the PGA Tour for a reason. Founded by Jimmy Harris in 1959 on pasture land inherited by his mother, Quail Hollow gradually established itself as a place of note in the professional golf community because of its internal efforts to become one.

Last season, the PGA Championship had an $18.5 million purse, which beat only the British Open among the four major championships. That was the largest amount offered at a PGA Championship in history, and allowed Xander Schauffele to take home $3.3 million for his win.
