The PGA Tour stops off at Quail Hollow Golf Club for the Wells Fargo Championship this week and we have come up with three selections for the ninth 'Designated Event' of the season.

Having been played at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm last year, the Wells Fargo Championship returns to Quail Hollow Golf Club and there is a star-studded field that will be vying for glory. 

Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy is the only player to have won this event three times and he is the 7/1 favourite with LiveScore Bet to claim the spoils again, while Patrick Cantlay is 12/1 and last week's Mexico Open winner Tony Finau is 14/1. 

Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler, ranked number one and two in the world respectively, have both decided to use their one pass card they have for this 'Designated Event', while Hideki Matsuyama is also missing due to injury. 

At 7,538 yards, Quail Hollow is one of the most demanding courses around and it closes with the famous Green Mile, a par-4-3-4 stretch from holes 16-18 that often has a huge say on which player ends up claiming the spoils.

Mitchell to enjoy Quail Hollow return

While lots of attention will be on the likes of McIlroy, Finau, Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth and Viktor Hovland, there is still considerable quality in this field and the name of Keith Mitchell sticks out at 66/1 with LiveScore Bet.  

The American has recorded some good results this year, with top-five finishes coming at Pebble Beach and the Genesis Invitational, and his last two outings at Quail Hollow have seen him end up eighth and third. 

With the Bermuda-rye rough set to be as high as 2.5 inches, finding fairways is absolutely crucial and Mitchell has been fantastic off the tee this season, as he leads in total driving (combines driving distance and accuracy). 

The 31-year-old, who is also sixth in strokes gained: off-the-tee, appears to enjoy the tougher courses and it would be no surprise to see him put in another strong showing in North Carolina.

Full steam ahead for Kim

Tom Kim burst onto the scene last year when winning twice on the PGA Tour and it is notable that his maiden title also came in North Carolina, when landing the Wyndham Championship by a hefty five strokes. 

One of South Korea's rising stars, the 20-year-old is one of the most accurate on Tour and he is second in driving accuracy, while he is also 20th in total driving and is inside the top 20 on both SG: tee-to-green and SG: approach-the-green. 

While Kim has not yet played in this event, he was part of the International Team that took on the US in the Presidents Cup at this venue and he got to grips with the course as time went on, winning both of his Saturday pair's matches and only narrowly going down to Max Homa in the singles. 

At 50/1 with LiveScore Bet, Kim looks a good shout in the each-way market. 

Another Kim gets the nod

Rounding off the selections is another South Korean in the shape of Si Woo Kim, who won his fourth PGA Tour title at the Sony Open in January this year and was recently T29 at the Masters. 

The 27-year-old is 26th in total driving this season and he has also been solid from tee-to-green, as he ranks 24th in that strokes gained category to further enhance his claims of a strong performance. 

Si Woo also played at last year's Presidents Cup and ended up as the International Team's top points scorer, taking three points from his four matches that included a superb singles win over Justin Thomas, and he looks like a lively contender at 100/1 with LiveScore Bet this week.
