PGA Tour Wyndham Championship Trivia and Notes:
- The PGA Tour Wyndham Championship was first played - as the Greater Greensboro Open - in 1939. Sam Snead was the first winner.
- It's appropriate that Snead won the first tournament, because he later won seven more times (1946, 1949-50, 1955-56, 1960, 1965). His eight wins total in this tournament is the PGA Tour record for most wins in one event. Snead also finished second three times.
- Snead's final win here, in 1965, was also the 82nd and final win of his PGA Tour career.
- No other golfer has won the Wyndham Championship more than twice. But seven golfers won won it two times each: Davis Love III, Sandy Lyle, Danny Edwards, George Archer, Billy Casper, Doug Sanders and Byron Nelson.
- Seve Ballesteros' first PGA Tour win was at the 1978 Greater Greensboro Open.
- When Arjun Atwal won the 2010 tourney, he became the first golfer from India to win on the US PGA Tour.
