GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the first time since 2019, the First Tee – Central Carolina is partnering with the Wyndham Championship to present The First Tee Youth Golf Clinic at the Wyndham Championship, the tournament announced today. The 83rd annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 3-7, 2022.
The First Tee Youth Golf Clinic at the Wyndham Championship, canceled in 2020 and ’21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is set for 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2 at the Grandover Resort practice range. The clinic will be conducted by The First Tee – Central Carolina, but PGA TOUR golfers will provide the instruction. This clinic is open to junior golfers ages 7-18, and participation is free of charge. Refreshments will be provided, but space is limited. Only the first 125 junior golfers who register may participate in the clinic. Parents who do not have an existing First Tee – Central Carolina account must create a free account to register.

“I think I can safely speak for everyone involved when I say we’re thrilled to be able to host The First Tee Youth Golf Clinic again,” tournament director Bobby Powell said. “This clinic is one of the most important events we have during tournament week each year, and we thank The First Tee – Central Carolina for hosting the clinic and for their tremendous partnership throughout the year. First Tee – Central Carolina students and coaches staff The First Tee – Central Carolina expo on Expo Row and serve as greeters in our VIP parking lot. We appreciate their support of our PGA TOUR event.”
“The Wyndham Championship is one of our chapter’s biggest supporters,” The First Tee – Central Carolina CEO Mike Barber said. “Thanks to their extremely generous donations, First Tee—Central Carolina is able to teach golf, core values, healthy habits and life skills to more than 1,500 young people throughout the Triad each year.
