Some of the world's best golfers will be in Whitemarsh Township from May 5 to May 11 when the Philadelphia Cricket Club hosts the Truist Championship.
Masters champion Rory McIlroy is expected to compete in the tournament, which is being played on the Club's Wissahickon course in Flourtown. Up to 10,000 spectators are expected to attend the tournament, along with 2,000 volunteers/workers on site and 70 professional golfers and their staff.
The only road closure for the event is West Valley Green Road (Whitemarsh Township) from Cricket Road to Hunt Lane from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day of the event. Residents will continue to have access to their properties. Satellite parking is available in multiple locations in Springfield, Whitemarsh and Upper Dublin Townships. Springfield residents should be prepared for increased traffic on Bethlehem Pike and adjacent roads in Flourtown, particularly from Wednesday through Sunday.
There are two parking locations that have the potential to impact traffic patterns in the Township, the first is behind the Flourtown Fire Company, 1526 Bethlehem Pike and the second is the Flourtown Picnic Area of Fort Washington State Park, 6199 West Mill Road. The fire company lot will be reserved for volunteers while the state park lot will be used by the Cricket Club.
