Live Updates: Truist Championship 2025 - Round 2: Tee Times, Groups, Leaderboard, and Streaming Details as McIlroy Guardians His Title at the New Venue
Freakin' Rory McIlroy Returns to Individual Competition at the Truist Championship!
After bagging the career Grand Slam at Augusta, the bloody Northern Irishman has been laying low, only appearing in the Zurich Classic with Shane Lowry since. But fear not, golf enthusiasts, because Rory's back, baby! And he's headlining the field at the Truist Championship – yes, the former Wells Fargo Championship – that's taking place at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, complete with a star-studded lineup including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Justin Thomas.
You might remember Rory's victories at this event, which he's snagged a whopping four times, most recently last year when he obliterated his competition by 5 strokes. Incidentally, he managed all his wins at Quail Hollow, but, as the PGA Championship hits town next week, the venue has switched things up.
In spite of the location change, the contest remains fierce, with Keith Mitchell storming into the lead after Round 1 with an opening 61, leaving Rory five shots off the pace.
Here's the lowdown on how you can catch all the action! The 2025 Truist Championship kicked off on Thursday, May 8, and runs until Sunday, May 11. The four rounds will be played at Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course, a par 70 stretching 7,119 yards. Game time is 1pm UK time for Round 2, and you can tune in to talkSPORT 2 for live coverage of the action.

Done Borrowed and Stollen: The History of the Truist Championship
The Truist Championship, previously known as the Wachovia Championship, the Quail Hollow Championship, and the Wells Fargo Championship (and now, the Truist Championship), is a legendary tournament with roots dating back to 2003. Initially hosted at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, the event has since undergone sponsorship changes, including a brief hiatus in 2009 and 2010.
Over the years, the championship has featured a host of notable winners, including Rory McIlroy with a record-breaking four victories (2010, 2015, 2021, 2024) and Tiger Woods, who attracted attention to the event early on with his win in 2007. Other winners include Wyndham Clark, Max Homa, Jason Day, and more!
With a reputation for testing the mettle of even the most skilled players, Quail Hollow's challenging "Green Mile" (holes 16, 17, and 18) remains a standout feature of the tournament.
So, buckle up and prepare for a thrilling week of golf as the Truist Championship takes center stage!
