K.J. Choi to play 2017 Wyndham Championship

South Korean superstar K.J. Choi, who won the Piedmont Triad’s PGA TOUR event in 2005, will also make his 10th Wyndham Championship appearance next week. Choi has eight PGA TOUR victories and nine international wins to his credit. When Si Woo Kim claimed his first PGA TOUR victory in last year’s Wyndham Championship, he mentioned Choi, arguably the most successful professional golfer in Korean history, as one of his heroes. After his 2005 victory here, Choi donated $90,000, 10 percent of his winner’s check, to the Greensboro Korean Presbyterian Church he attended while in town. Following his win at the 2011 PLAYERS Championship, he donated $200,000 to help victims of the tornados that ravaged the southeastern United States in April of that year.
