Garcia to Play 2018 Wyndham Championship

Sergio Garcia will play the 2018 Wyndham Championship. Garcia is making his fifth Wyndham appearance and his first since 2013 when he defended his title here. In addition to his Wyndham Championship win in 2012, he finished fourth here in 2009. A native of Spain now living in Switzerland, Garcia has 10 PGA TOUR wins and 21 international victories. Garcia’s best PGA TOUR finishes this year are tied for fourth at the Valspar Championship, tied for seventh at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship and tied for ninth at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play; he won the SMBC Singapore Open (Asia) earlier this year. Garcia is known for his Ryder Cup prowess having represented the European team eight times; he is working to make the team for this year’s matches in Paris next month. Garcia, whose first child was born in March, is currently 131st in the FedExCup point standings and 23rd in the Official World Golf Rankings. “This news is obviously big for the Wyndham and all of our fans,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “Sergio is incredibly popular in the Triad, and this will be a great opportunity for us to congratulate him on his 2017 Masters win and cheer him on throughout the week. Sergio loves Sedgefield and our fans, and we’re excited to have him back at the Wyndham.”
