The new tee on the 16th of Quail Hollow brings more bite to the Green Mile

The final three holes at Quail Hollow Club, which hosts this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, form one of the most famous and difficult final stretches on the PGA TOUR. Now, the course’s par-4 16th hole is even longer. A new tee was added to number 16 that can add another 20 yards. The new tee brings the fairway bunker on the right side of the hole back into play for the long hitters who used to carry it with impunity. In recent years, the TOUR’s top hitters have been able to carry the trap and access an even wider landing area, giving them an exponential advantage on the 506-yard hole.
