PAST CHAMPIONS BRANDT SNEDEKER, LUCAS GLOVER AND WEBB SIMPSON JOIN WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Three past champions, Brandt Snedeker, Lucas Glover and Webb Simpson, joined the field and will play next month’s Wyndham Championship, the tournament announced today. The 87th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 5-9, 2026, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
These players join World No. 3 and defending champion Cam Young, reigning PGA Championship winner and 2024 Wyndham winner Aaron Rai, five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka, FedExCup No. 7 Si Woo Kim and FedExCup No. 19 Alex Fitzpatrick.
Snedeker fired a 5-under par 66 in the final round to win the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic earlier this season, his first win since capturing his second Wyndham Championship in 2018. With the win, the United States Presidents Cup team captain earned a two-year exemption on TOUR allowing him to play with those trying to make his Presidents Cup team. Snedeker is 81st in FedExCup points putting him in position to make the FedExCup playoffs should he get inside the top 70 following the Wyndham Championship. Snedeker, who won his first PGA TOUR event at the 2007 Wyndham Championship, will make his 18th appearance here.
Glover won the Wyndham Championship in 2023 and then went on to win the first FedExCup playoff event in Memphis, Tenn., the next week. Glover’s most-recent starts are his best of the season; he finished tied for third at the John Deere Classic and tied for fifth at the ISCO Championship, yet he is 86th in FedExCup points and 90th in the Official World Golf Rankings. The six-time PGA TOUR winner will make his 22nd-consecutive Wyndham Championship start next month,
Simpson, who leads the Wyndham Championship career money-winners list with $4,084,205 in 17 starts, continues to work his way back into form following neck injuries; he has made only eight starts this season. He captured his first PGA TOUR victory here in 2011 and went on to win the 2012 U.S. Open 10 months later. He has three top-three finishes and seven top-10 finishes here in addition to his win. The Wake Forest University alumnus represented the United States in the Ryder Cup in 2012, ‘14 and ‘18, the Presidents Cup in 2011, ‘13 and ‘19 and the Walker Cup in 2007. He will make his 18th Wyndham Championship next month.
“We love having these three past champions in our field every year,” Executive Director Mark Brazil said. “I’ve known these guys since they were playing AJGA events, and it’s been so gratifying to see each of them have such wonderful careers. And now they’re all veteran leaders on the PGA TOUR in their respective positions – as policy board members or President Cup Captain.”
