Debby delays start of Wyndham Championship

wyndham championship greensboro

GREENSBORO, N.C. –The start of the first round of the Wyndham Championship was delayed at least into Thursday afternoon as the region deals with heavy rains spawned from the remnants of Hurricane Debby.

Tournament officials announced shortly after 5 a.m. ET that tee times are on hold and play will begin no earlier than 3 p.m. All facilities at Sedgefield Country Club are closed.

The PGA Tour is expected to provide an update at noon. The first tee times were originally scheduled for 6:50 a.m.

Late Wednesday afternoon, tournament officials announced that any competition Thursday would be held without spectators on the grounds because of weather-related concerns.

Overnight, there were numerous flash-flood warnings issued for the region, which was pounded with rain.

The Wyndham Championship is the final regular-season tournament on the PGA Tour schedule. Based on results from the tournament, the final field of 70 golfers is determined for the FedExCup playoffs that begin next week.

There’s a field of 156 golfers for the Wyndham Championship, which is slated to run through Sunday.
