The PGA Tour wraps up its regular season this week with the Wyndham Championship, where players have one final opportunity to improve their standing before the FedExCup Playoffs begin.
Held at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, the tournament carries an $8.5 million purse, with the tournament champion receiving $1.53 million.
Defending champion Cameron Young returns after capturing his first PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship last year.
According to PGA Tour, his victory made him “the 1,000th unique winner on the PGA Tour.”
“When it goes well, it feels like you never will play bad again. It just comes and goes. You kind of have to be ready for either one,” Young said last summer.
“At some point it’s going to get harder. At some point you’ll come out of that difficult period, and it will feel easy again. It’s kind of just a game of being ready for whatever comes next.”
