GREENSBORO, N.C. – Three-time Major winner, 2015 FedExCup champion and fan favorite Jordan Spieth will return to Sedgefield next week for the Wyndham Championship, the tournament announced today. The 85th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 8-11, 2024, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

Spieth won the Masters, the U.S. Open and the FedExCup championship in 2015 followed by the Open Championship in 2017.

He played in the Ryder Cup in 2014, ’16, ’18, ’21 and ‘23 and the Presidents Cup in 2013, ’15, ’17 and ‘22.
“We are definitely looking forward to having Jordan with us again this year,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “He’s one of the top-five guys every tournament director wants in their field. He’s had success at Sedgefield before, and it would not surprise me if he has success next week, too.”
During his junior golf career, Spieth played the AJGA Wyndham Invitational presented by Odyssey at Sedgefield in 2008 and ’09 finishing tied for sixth and fourth, respectively. He started the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation in 2014 as a platform to lend time, awareness and financial assistance to Individuals with Special Needs, Junior Golf, Military Families and Veterans, and Pediatric Cancer.
