The second major of the season is on the horizon, but there's one more PGA Tour event before we get there. 

Some of the game's best golfers will make their way to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Wells Fargo Championship ahead of the PGA Championship. 

The tournament is played at Quail Hollow Club, a par-71 track measuring 7,521 yards, featuring Bermudagrass greens.

As for betting on the tournament, we've got you covered with everything you need, from the odds to best bets.

Let's dive into the action.

There is one notable absence this week in Scottie Scheffler. He is out this week awaiting the birth of his first child, giving other golfers a reprieve from his 2024 dominance. On a side note, if you want to get in on some Scottie action this week despite him sitting out, you can now bet on whether he will win all four majors this year.

So who is favored to take down this event? Look no further than Rory McIlroy, who currently sits at +650 to win it all. He's won the tournament three times, setting a course record in 2015.

Wyndham Clark, who set the aggregate shot record when he won the tournament last year, is at +1600 to win, the third-best odds. Sandwiched between McIlroy and Clark comes Xander Schauffele at +900.

Now that we teed off with the basics, let's approach the top favorites and my portfolio for this tournament.

Rory McIlroy: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)
Xander Schauffele: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)
Wyndham Clark: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Patrick Cantlay: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
