SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s Wells Fargo Championship at the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Maryland from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 May 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

The Wells Fargo Championship – formerly known as the Wachovia Championship and Quail Hollow Championship – was first held in 2003. It is usually held at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, but was moved to the Washington area this year as the North Carolina venue is preparing for the 2022 President’s Cup.

The 2021 edition was won by Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who shot 274 (-10) to claim the title by one stroke ahead of Mexican Abraham Ancer. It was McIlroy’s third triumph at the Wells Fargo Championship, adding to 2010 and 2015 – making him the only multiple winner in the tournament’s history.

“It’s tough to get over the line, especially if you haven’t done it in a while,” McIlroy said in the wake of his 2021 victory. “It’s such a funny week, knowing my game was pretty good and then having my neck lock up on the range and sitting here Sunday night with the trophy. Just glad I got through it.”

McIlroy will be back at Quail Hollow to try and lift the trophy for a record-extending fourth time. “It is always good to have Rory in the field, as he adds another element to the competition whenever he plays,” said Gary Sobba, Tournament Director. “To have him defending his title will be a special experience for the fans and all involved in this year’s tournament.”

McIlroy is one of six past champions in the field that includes Max Homa (2019), Brian Harman (2017), James Hahn (2016), Lucas Glover (2011), and Sean O’Hair (2009).

Sobba is also happy that the PGA Tour is returning to the Washington area (which has not had a regular event since the National was scrapped in 2018): “I think it’s one of the great golf communities in the United States,” he explained. “I think it’s a community that deserves annual golf, and our goal is to try to prove that, hey, a strong annual tournament – this tournament being strong in May – would merit consideration.”

The TPC Potomac features a par 70, 7,107-yard course and the purse for the Wells Fargo Championship is $9million.

SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s Mexico Open at the Vidanta Vallarta Golf Course from Thursday 28 April to Sunday 1 May 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

While the Mexico Open has been around since 1944, this year signals the first time that it is elevated to be part of the elite PGA Tour – featuring 55 FedEX Cup points for the winner.

The Mexico Open in 2021 was won by local favourite Alvaro Ortiz, who shot 265 (-3) to end three strokes clear of Canadian Drew Nesbitt.

“At Grupo Salinas we are honoured to host a world-class event in our country, reaffirming our commitment to grow golf in Mexico and generate new interests and passions around this sport, especially in younger generations,” said Benjamin Salinas Sada, the vice president of the tournament sponsors.

This year’s Mexico Open is set to be headlined by Jon Rahm, last year’s US Open winner and a man widely regarded as one of the very best in the sport today.

“Jon Rahm’s participation confirms that golf in our country is stronger than ever, and is a clear indicator of how extraordinary the Mexico Open at Vidanta will be,” said Salinas Sada.

“We are very excited that the current number one golfer in the world decided to include us in his schedule for this year. I am certain that he has every intention of winning this PGA Tour event and hoist a trophy in Mexico for the first time.”

Vidanta Vallarta features a par 71, 7,456-yard course. The purse for the Mexico Open is $7.3million.

“It is a tournament that has required a great deal of work from all those involved, because in five months we have put everything together,” said Mexico Open director Rodrigo Suarez Gilly.

“We have very good partners and everything is running smoothly, we also have the plus that this tournament will be played between the Augusta Masters and the PGA Championship, which is a very good date to play good golf.”
