When the Truist Championship arrived last year, Cameron Young had zero PGA Tour wins and was fighting for status. A lot has changed in a year.
Now, Young is the World No. 3 after wins at last year’s Wyndham Championship, this year’s Players Championship and last week’s Cadillac Championship.
The American Ryder Cupper has +900 odds to capture his second consecutive Signature Event title… and second $3.6 million check in a row. But he’s not the betting favorite.
That position belongs to World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who is a four-time champion at the Quail Hollow event. McIlroy is making his first start since winning the 2026 Masters in April.
Young will get his opening round started on Thursday at 1:20 p.m. ET (now 12:39 p.m. ET) alongside Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas, who won the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2026 Truist Championship from 2-6 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide exclusive early streaming coverage starting on Thursday at 7:30 a.m. ET, in addition to featured group and featured hole coverage.
