GREENSBORO, N.C. – Break out the straw hats, hula skirts and Hawaiian shirts because that tropical paradise formerly known as the Wyndham Championship is back, and at center of it all is the return of Margaritaville at the Wyndham, the tournament announced today. The 79th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 14-19, 2018 at Sedgefield Country Club.

Margaritaville.com describes Margaritaville as, “It’s in the tropics somewhere between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder, but no parallels of latitude mark the spot exactly. You don’t have to be a navigator to get there. Palm trees provide the camouflage, ocean breezes bring the seaplanes and sailboats, tourists and travelers. Passports are not required. Island music rules.….There are lots of lies and loads of stories. It’s a comical concoction that blends together like tequila, salt and limes.”

As it did in previous years, Margaritaville at the Wyndham will feature live music every day, upscale food & beverages including the Wyndham Championship’s signature cocktail, the Wyndham Welcome, along with other refreshments including Margaritas and a full menu of non-alcoholic options. Fans can listen to Jimmy Buffett’s island-inspired music on Radio Margaritaville when live music is not being performed. Margaritaville at the Wyndham debuted at the Wyndham Championship in 2013 and remained the centerpiece of the tournament’s fan experience through 2016. Last year, the space was called the Front Porch at the Wyndham as part of the tournament’s southern hospitality theme. Sirius XM station Radio Margaritaville will broadcast live from Margaritaville at the Wyndham on Saturday and Sunday of tournament week.

“Having Margaritaville at the Wyndham back after a one-year layoff is huge,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “They’re part of the fabric of this tournament, and it’s a great spot to hang out. It’s also really cool that Margaritaville has such a strong relationship with Wyndham Destinations so that’s a great tie-in for us.”

Also returning this year is another fan favorite, the sand sculpture, on which artists create an ever-evolving sculpture throughout tournament week. Fans watch in amazement as the sand artists create an amazing sculpture from a truckload of sand. Tropical plants and palms will return to the tournament’s main entrance and throughout the Sedgefield grounds invoking a visit to a tropical paradise all while attending a PGA TOUR event.
