Tropical Storm Debby Disrupts Wyndham Championship: Schedule Adjustments Announced

We are currently witnessing significant disruptions at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro due to the heavy rainfall and sustained winds brought by Tropical Storm Debby, which has hit hard with its landfall in South Carolina. These severe meteorological conditions have necessitated a major adjustment to the tournament schedule, initially set to commence early today at the esteemed Sedgefield Country Club.

Schedule Adjustments and Safety Precautions

In response to the escalating situation, the PGA Tour has officially delayed the start of the tournament, pushing round one tee times from their original early morning start to no earlier than the afternoon. This decision underscores our commitment to ensuring the safety of all players and staff, aligning with the highest safety priority measures.

Updated Round One Tee Times

Here are the revised start times for round one, following a thorough assessment of the evolving weather patterns and the safety logistics involved:
