GREENSBORO, N.C. — Wyndham Championship tournament play starts Wednesday, Aug. 7 until Sunday, Aug. 11, at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, weather permitting.
With weekend-long events and tournaments for spectators to enjoy, there will be people coming from all over to enjoy the tournament. But can tropical storm Debby interfere with the fun?
Debby has been downgraded to a tropical storm as the system has moved inland today near the Big Bend of Florida. Debby will impact parts of the Southeast this week.
Wyndham Championship Executive Director Mark Brazil told WFMY News 2 that they will take the cue from the PGA Tour as far as competition goes.
"We'll have to see how Thursday and Friday goes," Brazil says. "I think the weekend is looking better so there could be potentially a lot of golf Saturday and Sunday and potentially Monday."
Brazil says they communicate with the tour every so often for updates.
"If we are able to get some golf on Thursday, maybe just rain instead of downpour, we can still play in the rain," he added.
Here in the Carolinas, we must pay attention and monitor the forecast for changes.
