Wyndham Championship named
PGA "Most Improved Event"
PGA Tour officials named the Wyndham Championship last year’s “Most Improved Event” for its seamless transition to Sedgefield Country Club. In 2008, sponsors and fans throughout the region showed great support for the tournament as both the third and final rounds of the tournament enjoyed sellout crowds.
The Wyndham Championship put on a first-class presentation for players, spectators and sponsors. Players heaped praise on the Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield Country Club and spectators were treated to convenient parking, improved on-site experiences and enhanced fan viewing areas.
The Wyndham Championship, captured by Carl Pettersson in 2008, will be held August 17-23, 2009 at Sedgefield Country Club.
