When the 2026 returned to Quail Hollow Club, the spotlight wasn’t only on the leaderboard. Across hospitality spaces, influencer feeds, and fan experiences, guests were also talking about the food.

As the official hospitality and culinary partner for the championship, Proof of the Pudding brought together chef-driven menus, elevated concessions, and local flavor throughout tournament week. From fresh seafood and chef-carved specialties to creative cocktails and Southern-inspired favorites, the experience was designed to feel uniquely Charlotte while delivering the high-level hospitality expected from one of the PGA TOUR’s premier events.

Local media even took notice, highlighting the culinary experience as a key part of the tournament atmosphere. QC News featured the event in a segment titled “Getting a Taste of Truist.”

The excitement also spilled onto Instagram, where creators and influencers gave followers a behind-the-scenes look at the food, cocktails, hospitality spaces, and overall guest experience throughout the tournament.
