Points and payouts: Rory McIlroy earns $3.6 million, 700 FedExCup points at Wells Fargo Championship​

Rory McIlroy's victory at the Wells Fargo Championship not only showcased his unwavering talent but also underlined his mastery at Quail Hollow Club, a venue that has witnessed many of his triumphs over the years.

Despite the absence of Scottie Scheffler, who withdrew due to the imminent birth of his first child, McIlroy stepped up as the odds-on favorite, with pre-tournament odds of +750 at BetMGM.

His commanding performance, finishing five strokes ahead at 17-under 267, solidified his reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the PGA TOUR. Quail Hollow holds a special place in McIlroy's career journey.

It was here in 2010 that he clinched his breakthrough PGA TOUR victory, followed by impressive wins in 2015 and 2021. His fourth title at this prestigious venue marks his 26th career victory in 247 professional starts, a testament to his consistency and brilliance on the course.

The $3.6 million prize money and 700 FedExCup points from this win further enhance McIlroy's illustrious career, ensuring his status as a top-tier player with multiple exemptions through 2029. Looking ahead, McIlroy sets his sights on the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, the site of his last major triumph in 2014.

His recent back-to-back victories echo his form from that memorable year, fueling anticipation for another stellar performance at the upcoming major event.

While Xander Schauffele's bid for a wire-to-wire victory fell short, he displayed resilience to secure runner-up honors despite a challenging final round. Byeong Hun An claimed third place convincingly, highlighting the competitive field at Quail Hollow.

As the golfing world shifts its focus to future tournaments, McIlroy's win serves as a reminder of his enduring skill and competitive spirit, setting the stage for exciting battles on the greens in the weeks to come.
