There’s more to a beautiful course than aesthetics.
When the PGA Championship returns to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2025, Quail Hollow Club will have touched every inch of the course to meticulously prepare for the world’s best golfers. Behind the scenes of this storied event is Keith Wood, the golf course superintendent, whose responsibility lies in ensuring the perfect balance of playability and aesthetics for a major championship. But achieving this isn’t simply about watering greens and trimming fairways — it’s about innovation, precision and selecting the right seeds.
Preparing a golf course for a major tournament like the PGA Championship demands careful planning — especially when it comes to selecting the varieties of turf that will provide optimal playability. Wood explains that while the course relies primarily on bermudagrass throughout the year, the championship season requires a different approach.
