"Greensboro" Not Part of Negotiations

At the press conference held at the Irwin Smallwood Media Center on Friday afternoon Stephen Holmes, the President, Chairman and CEO of Wyndham Worldwide was asked if keeping "Greensboro" in the name of next year's golf tournament was ever part of the negotiations?

Holmes replied, "It wasn't because and probably because one of the requirements in looking at a sponsorship opportunity was to get the Wyndham championship and Wyndham name out there as the event. There will always be the history of Greensboro events in golf and this is a continuation and extension of that."

Holmes continued saying, "So, frankly it didn't come into the negotiations as far as I was aware because it was a requirement of ours coming into the discussions."
