Jim Furyk to Play 2018 Wyndham Championship

Ryder Cup Captain Jim Furyk will play the Wyndham Championship. The 79th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 14-19, 2018. Furyk, who will lead the United States team at the Ryder Cup in Paris in September, has played in the Ryder Cup nine times and the Presidents Cup seven times. The 2010 FedExCup champion has 17 PGA TOUR victories to his credit including the 2003 U.S. Open. Furyk will make his 14th Wyndham Championship appearance this year. The last time he played here in 2016, he fired three rounds in the 60s and was tied for third with 18 holes to play, but on Sunday, he shot an even-par 70 and finished tied for 10th. He finished second in 1998 for his best finish here. Furyk’s best finish of the 2018 season came at the Valspar Championship where he tied for seventh. That finish guaranteed him at least one PGA TOUR top-10 finish every year since 1994. The University of Arizona alumnus reached the FedExCup playoffs in 10 consecutive seasons before missing last year’s playoffs due to a wrist injury. In 2016, he received the Payne Stewart Award presented annually to a professional golfer who best exemplifies Stewart’s steadfast values of character, charity and sportsmanship.
