PGA Tour | Wyndham Championship

Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina will host the 2018 Wyndham Championship, the final tournament before the Fedex Cup Playoffs. Players “on the bubble,” meaning the ones near the 125th spot in the Fedex Cup point standings, will be fighting for a spot in the upcoming playoffs.

Finishing in the top 125 also means a player will have status for next year on the PGA Tour. The next 75 players on the list are eligible for the Web.com Tour Finals where 25 players will receive status for the 2018-2019 PGA Tour Season. The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour final regular season money list also earn PGA Tour status for the upcoming season.

Henrik Stenson is the defending Champion. Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, and 2018 Players Champion Webb Simpson will also be on hand.
