The 2024 Wyndham Championship is the next big tournament on the PGA Tour. This tournament will be held at the Sedgefield Country Club between August 8 and August 11. The tournament will be the last chance for several golfers to qualify for next week's FedEx Cup Playoffs.

While there is a lot of anticipation to watch the golfers compete, Round 1 of the Wyndham Championship will be delayed. As per a statement on the official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle of PGA Tour Communications, the reason behind the delay is Tropical Storm Debby. The statement read:

"The first round of the Wyndham Championship is delayed due to Tropical Storm Debby. The first tee time will not be before 3 p.m. ET Thursday."

You can check out the statement from PGA Tour Communication in the tweet below:

With this delay, it will be interesting to see how play at the 2024 Wyndham Championship will be affected. The tournament is set to feature some brilliant players like Brian Harman, Lucas Glover, and Cameron Young to name a few.

Given it's the last tournament of the regular season, all golfers participating will look to give their best shot. However, based on the weather report, Round 2 of the Wyndham Championship is also expected to experience rain. The final two rounds on the other hand are expected to have better weather.
