Wyndham Worldwide signs 10-year extension as title sponsor of the Wyndham Championship

PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem and Wyndham Worldwide Chairman and CEO Stephen P. Holmes have announced that Wyndham Worldwide has signed a 10-year extension as title sponsor of the Wyndham Championship, continuing its commitment through 2026. The agreement commences when the current four-year deal concludes with the 2016 tournament. “We are extremely pleased to announce this new long-term commitment by Wyndham Worldwide, which represents a continuation of the tremendous progress the tournament has made through Wyndham’s support since 2007,” Finchem said. “Wyndham has had a very positive impact on every aspect of the tournament, from helping the Piedmont Triad Charitable Foundation’s efforts to increase charitable contributions through the Wyndham Championship, to elevating the tournament’s visibility and on-site enjoyment through creative brand activities and promotions.” In addition to Wyndham’s extension, BB&T will continue as the tournament’s local presenting sponsor through the same period. Representatives from BB&T, the tournament and its host organization, the Piedmont Triad Charitable Foundation, joined Finchem and Holmes for a press conference at Sedgefield Country Club, host site of the Wyndham Championship. This year’s tournament will be held August 20-23. Camilo Villegas will return to defend his title, the fourth of his PGA TOUR career and first since 2010.
