Wyndham Championship makes Wednesday Pro-Am free for Community Day
For the first time, Sedgefield's Wednesday pro-am will be free, opening Wyndham Championship access while parking fees still apply.
The Wyndham Championship will open its Wednesday pro-am to the public for free for the first time, turning Aug. 5 into Community Day presented by BUBBL’R at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro. Admission to the DeJoy/Wos Family Foundation Pro-Am will be free, though regular parking fees still will apply, and anyone who buys concessions that day will get a complimentary full-size BUBBL’R.
The change gives Guilford County families a cheaper entry point into one of Greensboro’s signature summer events, where the price of a ticket has often kept the course feeling out of reach. Tournament organizers said the move is meant to welcome more people to the 87th annual Wyndham Championship, which runs Aug. 5-9 and has long been one of the Triad’s most visible sports attractions.
The Wyndham describes itself as North Carolina’s oldest professional golf event, and Sedgefield is one of only two regular-season PGA TOUR stops played on a course originally designed by Donald Ross. The week carries added weight because it is the final event of the PGA TOUR regular season, with the top 70 players in FedExCup standings advancing to the FedExCup Playoffs after the tournament ends.
Cameron Young will return to defend his title after winning the 2025 Wyndham Championship for his first PGA TOUR victory. Young also became the fourth Wake Forest alumnus to win at Sedgefield, following Lanny Wadkins, Scott Hoch and Webb Simpson, a detail that gives the event a local tie beyond simple tournament prestige.
The championship has also linked this year’s event to charity through its 50-50 raffle, which will benefit backpack organizations and First Tee-Triad. Taken together, the free Community Day, the raffle and the return of last year’s champion show a tournament trying to widen its reach without losing the competitive and economic draw that makes the Wyndham one of Guilford County’s biggest annual sporting events.
