Congratulations and thanks to Mark Brazil and the hundreds of volunteers who worked on the Wyndham Championship at Forest Oaks. By all standards, the tournament was a big success.
Congratulations and appreciation are also due Wyndham Worldwide for its marvelous support of the tournament through its corporate sponsorship. Stephen Holmes, CEO, spent the entire week in Greensboro working and thinking about ways to make the tournament better next year.
The Wyndham people are committed to the Triad. This can only be good news for our golf tournament.
A special thanks should be given to Bobby Long, chairman of the Greensboro Jaycees Charitable Foundation, who did a marvelous job of keeping our tournament alive. Under his leadership, the tournament became a regional project, not just a Greensboro project, which is a very positive move.

I'm sure from your air-conditioned luxury box everything did indeed look great. It was hot, dusty and uncomfortable for the rest of us. A few misting tents would have been nice.

the tournament lacks national appeal due to an aesthetically boring golf course, holes that look the same and a host city that can't see past its own mediocrity.
the event has no story line or focus. it looked like "four seasons mall comes to nascar."
and if you say "jack" or "tiger" there, all you'll get is a "who?"

IMO, the mediocrity of the event is why Tiger never comes.
