This Week: Wyndham Championship

The PGA Tour Wyndham Championship used to be known as the Greater Greensboro Open, then as the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, and it used to be played at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

And while the tournament isn't returning to its GGO monicker, it is returning to Sedgefield this year after an absence of 30 years.

Sedgefield, a Donald Ross design, has a great history with this tournament. Among the winners of the event at Sedgefield were 11 Hall of Famers: Sam Snead, Ralph Guldahl, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, Billy Casper, Julius Boros, Gene Littler, Gary Player, Chi Chi Rodriguez and Bob Charles.

Of course, Sam Snead won this tournament a lot. Eight times, to be exact, the last time in 1962 at nearly 53 years of age. Yes, those are records (see links at bottom of post).

Brandt Snedeker is the defending champion, and the Wyndham is the final tournament of the FedEx Cup "regular season." You can check the FedEx Cup point standings here. There's a very good chance that the injured Tiger Woods will end the "regular season" atop those standings.
