Taking place in North Carolina, the Wyndham Championship is a PGA Tour professional golf event. Originally known as the Greater Greensboro Open, it is played in Greensboro every year. Initially held in April or May, the Greater Greensboro Open was founded 85 years ago, in 1938. However, a schedule modification in 2003 shifted the tournament closer to the end of the season.
The tournament was renamed the Wyndham Championship in 2007 after Wyndham Hotels & Resorts replaced DaimlerChrysler as the title sponsor and removed the word "Greensboro" from the sponsorship. The final PGA Tour event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs was originally scheduled for the fall but was relocated to mid-August. It is the last opportunity for players who are not currently exempt to qualify for the FedEx Cup and keep their tour privileges.
Who won the Wyndham Championship in 2024?
Aaron Rai won the 2024 Wyndham Championship. At Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, Rai secured his first-ever victory on the PGA Tour, taking home a $1.4 million winner's share of the $7.9 million total.
Rai defeated Max Greyserman by two strokes with a 6-under 64 in the closing round to finish at 18-under 262. Greyserman's eagle on the par-4 13th hole gave him a four-shot lead, but he subsequently made a quadruple-bogey 8 on the 14th hole. With a 15-under total, JJ Spaun and Ryo Hisatsune shared third place. Luke Clanton, an amateur, finished in fifth place.
Who won the Wyndham Championship in 2023?
Lucas Glover won the 2023 Wyndham Championship after defeating Byeong-hun An and Russell Henley at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, to claim his fifth PGA Tour victory. Of the $7,600,000 purse, he took home the $1,368,000 winner's share.
The championship round was postponed for many hours due to bad weather, but Glover emerged victorious on the 20-under-260. Glover steadily played through to the house, while Russell Henley had a string of bad breaks and circumstances that caused him to bogey the last three holes and end up tied for second with Byeong-hun An. Billy Horschel finished in solo fourth place and missed the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Multiple Wyndham Championship Champions
Sam Snead, then 52 years old, broke two records in 1965 on the PGA Tour when he became the oldest winner of the tournament and won for the eighth time, after 27 years since his first victory in 1938. The oldest winner in the senior tour era, which started in 1980, is 51-year-old Davis Love III, who also won three times.
In the opening round on August 16, 2018, Brandt Snedeker shot 59. In the PGA Tour's history, this was only the third sub-60 round with a bogey. Snedeker made history by sinking a twenty-foot putt from the fringe to finish with a 27 on the inward nine; this was his second victory at the event.
