The poor weather has been the curse following the PGA Tour since the season’s beginning. Events like RBC Heritage and CJ Cup Byron Nelson were delayed due to inclement weather. Similarly, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was cut to 54 holes as the weather got worse, and this is how Wyndham Clark won his fourth PGA Tour event.

This time as well, the curse of poor weather has followed at the famed Quail Hollow Club. The opening round of the Wells Fargo Championship was delayed, and the second round was suspended when seven groups were still left to play. Is the bad weather news even shocking for the Tour events? Not so much, but the good weather news is! The weather forecast shows a better fate for Saturday, and it seems that Jay Monahan will have no headache.

The first round of the Wells Fargo Championship was delayed by one hour; the round was scheduled to start at 11 a.m. and was rescheduled to noon. Following suit, the second round was suspended at 5:29 p.m. as dangerous weather followed. But after an hour, at 6:30 p.m., the 21 players left to play their second round continued their game. But on Saturday, things would go smoothly for the players and authorities alike at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Per the weather forecast shared by PGA Tour Communications on X, it would be a dry day with plenty of sun. The Saturday round features a high of 74°F and no clouds till noon. By 1:00 p.m. EST, the clouds will be seen, but there is a 0% chance of precipitation and lighting, with the temperature going as low as 59°F with a light west wind blowing at 5 to 10 mph.

Finally, Jay Monahan’s nightmare of weather constantly disrupting the events had been put to rest. With the moving day expected to pan out on time, the third round would not most expectedly be delayed or stretched on till Sunday.
