Excitement Builds for the Truist Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club

The Truist Championship is set to kick off at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, attracting some of the finest golfers in the world, including defending champion Rory McIlroy. This will be the first PGA Tour event hosted at the club in nearly a decade. With a significant purse of $20 million, players are preparing for a no-cut format, increasing the stakes of the competition. A detailed betting preview and power rankings suggest that Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood might be top contenders worth considering, while Scottie Scheffler has opted out of the event. Fans are eagerly anticipating how the course will challenge the competitors, especially as most players, including Xander Schauffele, have limited familiarity with it. The local economy is expected to benefit from the influx of visitors and golf enthusiasts, while the culinary team at the club is gearing up to provide a memorable experience for attendees.
