CHARLOTTE, N.C (Sept. 19, 2022) – Charlotte will host the 2022 Presidents Cup from Tuesday, Sept. 20, until Sunday, Sept. 25, at Quail Hollow Club. The City of Charlotte is working alongside the PGA TOUR and its partners to help ensure everyone has a great experience at the event.

As is expected with large scale events, there will be a significant increase in traffic around Charlotte. Visitors and residents are asked to anticipate prolonged travel times and exercise patience when traveling around the city, especially in the Quail Hollow area.

Residents and visitors are strongly encouraged to use public transit, ridesharing and multimodal options. Numerous efficient transportation options will be available to ticket holders including rideshare drop-off via Uber and Lyft, a shuttle from the Charlotte Convention Center, as well as the LYNX Blue Line. Ticket holders traveling to the Presidents Cup from Uptown may consider the Charlotte Convention Center shuttle as the most convenient and cost-efficient mode of transportation.

There are also a number of shuttle parking locations around the Charlotte region, and an increase in traffic in those areas is expected as well. Shuttle locations are:

More information about transportation options can be found on the
Presidents Cup website.

Please see below for important updates and information about service impacts and other steps city departments are taking to minimize disruptions to residents and visitors.

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS)

Ticket holders are encouraged to use the LYNX Blue Line which will transport fans to and from the event with multiple on-boarding locations enroute to Quail Hollow. Riders should exit the light rail at the Sharon Road West Station where shuttles will then transport travelers to the main entrance.

  • CATS is planning on increasing frequency on key routes in anticipation of increased ridership and will monitor ridership throughout the week.

    CATS app for the real-time locations and arrival times for buses and the CityLYNX Gold Line buses and LYNX Blue Line, and sign-up for
    CATS Rider Alerts.

  • More information about the CATS system including schedules, maps and a trip planner can be found at
    charlottenc.gov/cats.

Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT)

  • CDOT has paused road construction in and around the areas that will be most impacted by traffic related to the Presidents Cup and is working with its transportation partners to minimize construction impacts to traffic around Charlotte.

  • The Presidents Cup and CDOT have partnered to optimize the tournament shuttle routes and ridesharing options in order to reduce the impacts to the surrounding community.

  • CDOT will be monitoring traffic for the duration of the Presidents Cup and will adjust traffic signal timing as necessary to reduce congestion.

  • CDOT partnered with NCDOT to share event-related messages on overhead dynamic message signs on the freeways and interstates.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD)
