Rory McIlroy is all set to return to the fairway on one of his favorite golf courses on the PGA Tour. However, he and the other players are eager to get on the field at Quail Hollow to play in the 2026 Truist Championship. However, they have met with a small but uncertain bump. As per the latest reports, the tee times have been pushed back.
As PGA TOUR Communications tweeted, “The first round of the Truist Championship is delayed an additional 30 minutes, with the first tee time now scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET.”

The tournament had already seen a delay earlier in the day due to heavy rainfall. While it is a limited field event, the officials were forced to change the group setup to pairs of three. However, that was limited to the tee times between noon and 2:01 P.M. E.T. But with the event getting pushed back 30 minutes further, the entire day’s play will have groups of three.
