The Wyndham Championship is the **final full-field event of the PGA Tour's regular season**, played annually in late July or early August at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC. It is one of the longest-running events on Tour, having been held since 1938. Because it is the last opportunity to earn FedExCup points before the Playoffs, it consistently attracts late-season surges from players on the playoff bubble.

The Wyndham Championship is the **last regular-season event** in which players can earn FedExCup points to qualify for the three-event FedExCup Playoffs (beginning the following week). Only the top 70 players in FedExCup points after the Wyndham qualify for the first Playoff event (the St. Jude Championship). Players just outside the top 70 are in a fight to move up, making the Wyndham disproportionately high-stakes for those on the bubble. The 2026 field also saw several high-ranked players withdraw after already securing Playoff berths. Sources: PGA Tour.

The 2026 Wyndham Championship (Aug 6-9, Sedgefield CC, Greensboro) had not been played as of August 4, 2026. The defending champion is Cameron Young, who won in 2025 with a tournament-record -22.

No. The Wyndham Championship is a standard PGA Tour event, not one of golf's four majors (The Masters, US Open, The Open Championship, PGA Championship). However, it carries added significance as the final full-field event before the FedExCup Playoffs. Winners receive full FedExCup points and a two-year PGA Tour exemption. Sources: PGA Tour.
