GREENSBORO, N.C. – Honda Aircraft Company, with its world headquarters located at Piedmont Triad International Airport, is the Wyndham Championship’s newest tournament partner and its technologically-advanced aircraft, the HondaJet, will serve as the tournament’s “Official Aircraft,” the tournament announced today. The 79th annual Wyndham Championship is next week at Sedgefield Country Club.
Honda Aircraft Company is supporting the Wyndham Championship on multiple levels, but the most visible is the assistance the company is providing with transportation on its best-in-class aircraft, the HondaJet. A HondaJet picked up PGA TOUR golfer Harold Varner III, pictured above, in Jacksonville, Fla., and brought him to Wyndham Championship media day at Sedgefield Country Club on Aug. 2. The company will provide additional flights as the tournament approaches next week.
In addition, Honda Aircraft Company is the presenting sponsor of the “Champions Club,” a hospitality venue located inside the Sedgefield Country Club clubhouse with five viewing platforms around the course, and the Wyndham Championship practice range where PGA TOUR golfers warm up before rounds and practice throughout the tournament week.
