Couples will play Wyndham Championship

Fred Couples will play in next week’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. Couples won the Masters in 1992, and his commitment means 13 major-championship winners are now in the Wyndham Championship field.

Couples has won 46 tournaments worldwide including 15 PGA TOUR events. He has represented the United States on five Ryder Cup teams and four Presidents Cup teams, and he is the captain for the United States Presidents Cup team this year.

Couples last played in the 1993 Kmart Greater Greensboro Open in what was his 10th consecutive appearance here; he has two top-five finishes.

“Fred Couples is one of the biggest names in golf, and I know he’ll have huge galleries following him at Sedgefield next week,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “A commitment from Couples is huge for the Wyndham Championship and sports fans throughout the Piedmont Triad.”
