Blog#332Tru Preview & Results May 7 to May 10, 2026

The Trust Championship Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, NC. Par 71 Purse $20M

HISTORY Last years winner, Sepp Streka (40/1) defeated Shane Lowry who 3 putted #18.

Scotty won PGA here last year, but he and Lowry are skipping this year adding fuel to the fact that signature events are unnecessary. Rory won 4 times here, 2010, 2015, 2024 & PGA 2015.

FAVORITES Last week ogolfit.com picked either Scotty Scheffler or Cameron Young.

They were the final group, with Young winning by 6 strokes and Scotty finishing 2nd.

This week’s 5 favorites with interesting pairings and odds.

L Aberg 16/1 & X Schauffele 12/1, R McIlroy 6/1 & M Fitzpatrick 13/1.

C Young 9/1 & J Thomas 50/1. I don’t see Young or Thomas, winner should come from 1st4.

Next 9 Maybe 4 or 5 have a shot at win, but I still think it will be 1 of the 1st 4.

#6 (22/1) SW Kim 4th last week & T Fleetwood, probably not 23rd last week.

#8 (33/1) R MacIntyre, P Cantlay & S Burns, I can’t see any of these 3 winning.

#11 35/1 A Scott, R Fowler, B Griffin all played well last week 1 could sneak in, V Hovland, No.
