GREENSBORO, N.C. – Fans attending next month’s Wyndham Championship will have an opportunity to upgrade a grounds ticket to a hospitality ticket when they spin the Harris Teeter wheel on “Expo Row;” Harris Teeter is also sponsoring the Wyndham Championship kids program and volunteers, the tournament announced today.
