Valley Forge Sports is thrilled to be working with the PGA to welcome this newly re-branded event into Montgomery County in 2025.
One of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events will be coming to the Philadelphia Cricket Club in 2025 — and it will have a new name.
The Truist Championship — formerly known as the Wells Fargo Championship — is normally held in Charlotte, N.C., at the Quail Hollow Club, but that course will host the PGA Championship next year, so the tournament needed a temporary home.
“There are no better sports fans maybe in the country, who we think will embrace this at this incredible, incredible location,” Truist CEO Bill Rogers said.
The PGA Tour and Truist approached the Cricket Club to host the 2025 tournament from May 5-11. Philadelphia is an important market for Truist, Rogers said, and the Cricket Club is the oldest country club in the nation, founded in 1854.
