GREENSBORO, N.C. – Cadillac, the luxury brand of General Motors, returns to the Wyndham Championship in 2016 as its official vehicle, the tournament announced today. The 77th annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 15-21, 2016 at Sedgefield Country Club.
Cadillac will provide PGA TOUR player courtesy cars as well as vehicles for tournament operations and tournament officials during the upcoming 77th annual Wyndham Championship PGA TOUR event. Cadillac will be the tournament’s official vehicle for the fifth-consecutive year; the luxury brand from General Motors returned to the Wyndham in 2012 following a brief hiatus as the tournament’s official car. The premium car brand will also have vehicles on display at Sedgefield Country Club during the tournament as well as a hospitality venue at the 10th green.
“We are proud that Cadillac has chosen to continue its partnership with the Wyndham Championship,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “We hope they will be with us for a very long time because there is no better automotive brand to have associated with a PGA TOUR event than Cadillac. We sincerely appreciate Bill Black, Don Flow and all of the other Piedmont Triad Cadillac dealers for the assistance they provided in making this sponsorship possible.”
