Charlotte, NC—Once again the Quail Hollow Championship is attracting some of the game's best players to the Charlotte area for the April 27-May 3 PGA TOUR event.

"With just over a month remaining before the commitment deadline, this is an impressive group of players who are making early plans to attend this year's Quail Hollow Championship," said Kym Hougham, Executive Director of the Quail Hollow Championship. "Given the past fields we have had, we certainly believe this trend will continue as we get closer to the end of April."
