Wyndham Rewards tees up for 85th Annual Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Wyndham Rewards returns to Sedgefield Country Club this week as proud title sponsor of the 85th annual Wyndham Championship – where “the finale is just the beginning.”

Known for being one of the most fan-friendly stops on the PGA TOUR, this year’s tournament sees Sedgefield turn into a tropical oasis while giving fans the chance to win one of hundreds of incredible prizes including gift cards, hotel nights, Club Wyndham Getaways and more. Plus, every day of official tournament play, two lucky fans – one on-site and one at home – will win one million Wyndham Rewards points.

“For nearly two-decades, the Wyndham Championship has been celebrated for being one of the most fan-friendly stops on the TOUR. This year – we’re upping the ante with more prizes, more activities, and more fun. Whether you’re a golf fanatic or just looking to get out and have fun with family and friends, the Wyndham Championship is the place to be” says Leah Girma, Vice President, Wyndham Rewards.

Vacation Vibes

Broadcasting on CBS, GOLF Channel, Paramount+ and PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, this year’s tournament transports fans to a tropical, vacation-themed oasis. Signature course elements like Club Wyndham Beach are back and joined by fan favorite spots like Margaritaville at the Wyndham, the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card Lounge and the USO Patriots Outpost presented by Truist and Heroes Vacation Club.

New at the tournament this year is Wyndham Rewards Putter’s Paradise. Show off your putting prowess as you wind your way through five challenging holes themed after your favorite vacation destinations. While there, register to win one of over a hundred daily prizes, including one million Wyndham Rewards points or score an instant-win prize like a Club Wyndham beach pass.

Wyndham Championship Fore! Good

Creating positive impact in the community is a hallmark of the Wyndham Championship and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good, the tournament’s signature philanthropic platform. Focused on youth, education and inclusivity, the platform helps give back to worthy causes in central North Carolina and beyond.

Once again this year, Wyndham Rewards will donate $25,000 to each of the Championship’s signature backpack charities. In addition, Thursday through Sunday, should a PGA TOUR player make a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole, Wyndham Rewards will award one million points to the player and donate an additional one million points to the backpack charities.

Through the tournament’s backpack program, Wyndham Rewards works with local organizations—Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks, Out of the Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point—to help feed children from low-income families around central North Carolina. Backpacks are packed with nutritionally-sound meals, which families take home every weekend. Just $5 can feed one child for a weekend while $150 can feed a child for a school year. Fans can join Wyndham in supporting these charities by donating at tournament merchandise and concession stands.

Celebrating First Tee  – Central Carolina and the Greensboro Six

Earlier this week, Wyndham executives joined community leaders and members of First Tee – Central Carolina to unveil a new outdoor mural at Gillespie Golf Course honoring civil rights pioneers, The Greensboro Six.

Created by Brooklyn-based artist Vincent Ballentine, the mural elevates the story of The Greensboro Six – key players in the civil rights movement whose purposeful actions ultimately helped desegregate professional golf – while celebrating the positive impact that Gillespie, through First Tee, continues to have on the Greensboro community today.

In addition to unveiling the mural, Wyndham joined with the Tournament in making a supplemental donation of $200,000 in support of First Tee-Central Carolina, helping further the organization’s mission of aiding children of all backgrounds build life skills through the game of golf. Since 2007, the collective efforts of Wyndham and the Tournament have helped to raise and donate millions to the organization.
