GREENSBORO, N.C. – This week’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club will conclude the 2019-20 FedExCup Regular Season and decide which players will share a bonus pool of $10 million in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. Earning a top 10 spot in the standings entering the FedExCup Playoffs is an important goal for players looking to position themselves for a run at the FedExCup trophy. Started in 2019, the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 places a greater emphasis on performance throughout the PGA TOUR Regular Season with the bonus being split among the top 10 Regular Season finishers in the FedExCup standings. Last year, Brooks Koepka earned the top spot in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. “In recent weeks, we’ve seen the battle for the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 tighten and now, that excitement culminates here at the Wyndham Championship,” said Eliot Hamlisch, EVP of Loyalty and Wyndham Rewards program leader. “As the world’s most generous rewards program with more than 30,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals, we’re excited for a week of great championship golf and the chance to once again recognize and reward the best of the best.” Click here for the current standings.
