These options offer access to a mix of elevated experiences, premium amenities and unmatched views of golf's biggest names.

• Up to two children ages 15 and under can get free access to all open-to-the-public venues with a ticketed adult.

As venues continue to sell out and anticipation grows, lock in your spot to visit Quail Hollow Club and see stars like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and defending champion Sepp Straka up close and personal.

🤝 New name, deeper mission

Behind the tournament's early success is something bigger than tickets and hospitality: community and corporate support.

The Truist Championship is powered by purpose-driven partners who believe in the long-term impact a PGA Tour event brings to the city of Charlotte.

• Bolstered by Truist as the title sponsor along with Community Champions like HendrickCars.com and Atrium Health, this year's partners help ensure the tournament delivers not only an unforgettable fan experience, but also meaningful benefits beyond the course.

Some highlights:

• The Truist Championship and Atrium Health will feature free refillable water stations, a Family Care Suite and 5,000 sustainable Stanley Cups to fans on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Together with HendrickCars.com, fans can enjoy enhanced on-course viewing experiences with three upgraded grandstands positioned along the second, seventh and seventeenth greens.

• PAM Wayfinding, presented by CPI Security, will guide fans with digital interactive mapping and signage once you're in the gates. Make sure you've downloaded the PGA TOUR App ahead of time for access.

🍦 Teeing up local flavor

From direct charitable giving to initiatives that spotlight and support local small businesses, the tournament is designed to create opportunities that extend well beyond tournament week.

Fans will see that focus come to life at Quail Hollow with three distinct fan zones – South End, The Park and the Green Mile Courtyard – each with its own vibe.

What's on tap:

• Small businesses will be represented throughout the fan zones, including local culinary brands such as Cowfish, Nightswim, Noble Smoke, Inizio and more.
• Two Scoops will be on site, offering a variety of flavors to keep fans cool, highlighted by a signature flavor: "Purple Parfection."
• The Fan Shop will also feature some local flair like Charlotte-based 704 Shop and Girl Tribe, in addition to the usual suspects like Nike, Peter Millar and Lululemon.

The takeaway: The blend of sport, business and community impact is what makes the Truist Championship feel like more than just a golf tournament.

It's a place to gather, connect and bring the Queen City to center stage on a national platform.
