THREE-TIME MAJOR WINNER, 2015 FEDEXCUP CHAMPION JORDAN SPIETH JOINS WYNDHAM FIELD
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Three-time Major winner and 2015 FedExCup champion Jordan Spieth will play the Wyndham Championship next week, the tournament announced today. The 87th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 5-9, 2026, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Spieth joins two-time Major winner Justin Thomas, World No. 3 and defending champion Cam Young, five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka, 2025 Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley, reigning PGA Championship winner and 2024 Wyndham winner Aaron Rai, FedExCup No. 7 Si Woo Kim, FedExCup No. 18 Ryan Gerard, FedExCup No. 19 Alex Fitzpatrick, FedExCup No. 24 Alex Smalley as well as past champions FedExCup No. 28 J.T. Poston, Brandt Snedeker, Lucas Glover and Webb Simpson and three-time Ryder Cupper Patrick Cantlay.
Spieth played in each of the last five Ryder Cup matches and four of the last five Presidents Cup matches. He nearly won the 2013 Wyndham Championship in his rookie season but lost a two-hole playoff to Patrick Reed. A native and resident of Dallas, he will make his third consecutive Wyndham Championship appearance and his sixth overall.
Spieth won the Masters, the U.S. Open and the FedExCup championship in 2015 followed by the Open Championship in 2017. The 13-time PGA TOUR winner is 55th in FedExCup points and 57th in the Official World Golf Rankings. His best finishes this year are tied for 11th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and the Valspar Championship.
“We are always happy to have Jordan back at the Wyndham Championship,” Executive Director Mark Brazil said. “He’s one of a handful of guys every tournament wants in their field, and we can’t wait to welcome him back to Sedgefield next week. He’s played a lot of golf here and knows the golf course better than most. He could very easily be in contention next Sunday afternoon.”
During his junior golf career, Spieth played the AJGA Wyndham Invitational presented by Odyssey at Sedgefield in 2008 and ’09 finishing tied for sixth and fourth, respectively. He started the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation in 2014 as a platform to lend time, awareness and financial assistance to individuals with Special Needs, Junior Golf, Military Families and Veterans and Pediatric Cancer.
