The
marks a temporary change of scenery for one of the PGA Tour’s biggest Signature Events, moving from its usual home at Quail Hollow to the historic Philadelphia Cricket Club. Defending champion Rory McIlroy headlines the elite 72-player field, fresh off his Masters victory and career Grand Slam. However, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will not tee it up this week, opting to sit out ahead of next week’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
Why Scottie Scheffler Isn't Playing
Scottie Scheffler's absence from this week's Truist Championship aligns with his strategic approach to major tournament preparation. The World No. 1 recently secured his first PGA Tour win of 2025 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson,
with a 31-under-par 253. Following this victory, Scheffler has chosen to rest ahead of the upcoming PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, a decision consistent with his practice of skipping tournaments immediately preceding majors to ensure peak performance.
“I thought about that a bit yesterday. I think going into the major championships, especially the ones we know are going to be really challenging, it may be in my best interest not to play the week before,”
.

About the Course: Philadelphia Cricket Club
With Quail Hollow preparing to host next week’s PGA Championship, the 2025 Truist Championship will take place at the historic
Philadelphia Cricket Club—specifically the Wissahickon Course. Designed by A.W. Tillinghast and recently restored to reflect his original vision, the par-70 course measures just over 7,100 yards. Unlike many “bomb-and-gouge” layouts on Tour, Philly Cricket demands precision, strategy, and respect for classic shot values. This will be the course’s PGA Tour debut, offering a fresh challenge to even the most experienced players.
