Wyndham Championship
Travel + Leisure Co. is a co-sponsor of the Wyndham Championship. Contested annually on the Donald Ross-designed golf course at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., the Wyndham Championship was founded in 1938 and is the seventh-oldest event on the PGA TOUR, excluding the Majors. As the last tournament of the regular season, it sets the 70-player field for the FedExCup Playoffs.
Creating a positive impact in the community is a central focus of the Wyndham Championship, and Wyndham Championship FORE! Good highlights all of the ways the tournament generates charitable impact throughout central North Carolina. By inspiring the next generation through education, supporting community development and inclusivity and helping preserve our natural resources, the Wyndham Championship’s local impact is “Fore! Good.”
The Wyndham Championship is a major supporter of First Tee – Central Carolina, the local chapter of the international initiative founded by the PGA TOUR that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.
In 2023, Travel + Leisure Co., in partnership with Creative Greensboro, First Tee – Central Carolina and the Wyndham Championship, created a mural that will represent the history of the Greensboro Six and their significance to one of the chapter’s main program locations, Gillespie Golf Course.
The course, which is a local landmark, has deep roots in the Civil Rights Movement. On December 7, 1955, six Black men led by Dr. George Simkins played the course in defiance of the whites-only rules. Their arrest and ensuing court case would eventually reach the highest court in the land and lead to the integration of Gillespie Golf Course seven years later. These men would later become known as the Greensboro Six.
A mural representing their story and impact was placed on First Tee — Central Carolina’s Learning Center at Gillespie Golf Course and unveiled publicly during the Wyndham Championship Jr. Golf Clinic on August 5, 2024 to kick off Wyndham Championship tournament week. Learn more here.
