Wyndham Championship statement from Executive Director Mark Brazil
on the passing of Jimmy Buffett:
“We are incredibly sad that we lost Jimmy Buffett. When Margaritaville came to the
Wyndham Championship in 2014, it was an instant success blending perfectly with the
Wyndham Rewards vacation theme, and Jimmy became a good friend over the years. He
visited the tournament in 2016 and thrilled golf fans when he stepped onto the stage with
Mac McAnally. Jimmy will be missed by millions, and we look forward to celebrating his
influence on our PGA TOUR event in the future. On behalf of the Wyndham Championship,
we send our deepest condolences to Jimmy’s family as well as our friends and partners at
Margaritaville.”
