Wyndham Rewards Revives Vacation Spirit at Greensboro's 86th Wyndham Championship

A Grand Return to Golfing Excitement at the Wyndham Championship

The 86th annual Wyndham Championship kicked off this week at the historic Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, bringing with it not just competitive golf, but a full-blown vacation atmosphere. This year, Wyndham Rewards has transformed the event into more than a classic golf tournament; it’s a celebration of fun, summer vibes, and exciting giveaways. The tournament stands out among the PGA TOUR events for being exceptionally fan-friendly, and this year is no different with the tagline: ‘Big Golf. Bigger Fun.’

As part of the festivities, every day during the tournament, Wyndham Rewards will generously give away one million points to lucky participants. Imagine using those points for a month-long stay at a luxury resort or perhaps to treat your family to a week in the mountains—options are plentiful. Fans can enter this enticing sweepstakes by visiting WyndhamRewards.com.

Known for its vibrant fan experience, the Wyndham Championship this year introduces The Sandbar, a newly created retreat for fans, complete with live sand sculpting. The event aims to transport golf enthusiasts into a tropical wonderland, further augmented by beloved returning features including the Club Wyndham Beach and the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card Lounge.

Mike Shiwdin, GVP of Loyalty for Wyndham Rewards, emphasized the essence of the Wyndham Championship by stating, "It's about giving fans an experience they'll never forget, one meant to inspire drink-in-hand, toes-in-the-sand, wanderlust." This sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of the Wyndham Championship, aligning golf, leisure, and community impact into a vibrant experience.

Giving Back: Wyndham Championship Fore! Good

An essential aspect of the Wyndham Championship is its commitment to social responsibility through the Wyndham Championship Fore! Good initiative. This program aims to give back to the local community, with a recent donation of $250,000 to First Tee – Central Carolina along with contributions of $100,000 to regional charities that provide resources for children in need. The initiative ensures that even as fans enjoy the tournament, meaningful contributions are made to address community needs.

In addition, there is also an exciting twist: if a player achieves a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole during the tournament, not only will they receive one million Wyndham Rewards points, but an additional million points will be shared among the supported charities. This aims to enrich the tournament experience while spreading goodwill.

A Premier Rewards Program

Wyndham Rewards is celebrated not just as the title sponsor of the championship but as a leading rewards program within the travel industry. Regarded by USA Today as the top hotel rewards program, it offers members numerous opportunities to redeem points at over 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts, and vacation rentals globally.
