GREENSBORO, N.C. – Former world No. 1 and past Masters champion Adam Scott, who reached the thrilling six-way playoff at the Wyndham Championship in 2021, will return for another run at the Sam Snead Cup next week, the tournament announced today. The 86th annual Wyndham Championship is set for July 30-Aug. 3, 2025 at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Scott joins FedExCup No. 7 Ben Griffin, Max Homa, 2022. U.S. Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick, Scottish Open Champion and FedExCup No. 23 Chris Gotterup, defending champion Aaron Rai, FedExCup No. 15 Robert MacIntyre, FedExCup No. 26 and past champion Lucas Glover, FedExCup No. 29 Sungjae Im, FedExCup No. 30 Ryan Fox, FedExCup No. 33 Thomas Detry, past champions Si Woo Kim, J.T. Poston, two-time champion Brandt Snedeker and Webb Simpson in the field.
Scott is making his seventh Wyndham Championship start with his best result coming in 2021 when he finished tied for second following the epic six-way playoff won by Kevin Kisner. Scott played a brilliant shot into the 18th green on the first playoff hole, but his four-foot birdie bid slid just past the hole opening the door for Kisner who made a putt of similar length on the second playoff hole. The University of Nevada Las Vegas alumnus finished tied for seventh in his last Wyndham Championship appearance in 2023.
Scott became the first Australian to win the Masters after he birdied the second playoff hole to defeat Angel Cabrera in 2013. The former world No. 1 has 14 PGA TOUR victories and 14 international wins to his credit, but his last win came at the 2020 Genesis Invitational. A resident of Switzerland, the Australia native is 84th in FedExCup points and 42nd in the Official World Golf Rankings; he is an 11-time Presidents Cup player having played in each one since 2003.
“Anytime Adam Scott plays the Wyndham Championship, it’s major news,” Executive Director Mark Brazil said. “Adam is an international superstar and one of the nicest guys in our sport. He is always a fan favorite when he plays here, and we are ecstatic to welcome him back to Sedgefield this year.”
