Then known as the Greater Greensboro Open, Sam Snead won the first-ever tournament in 1938.

Snead went on to win eight titles, by far the most ever in the tournament’s rich history. His last victory came in 1965 at the age of 52, making him the oldest player ever to win the Wyndham Championship, a record that still stands today. Snead is also the only player to win the tournament in consecutive years with the last time coming in 1956.

There have been five other multiple winners in the event’s history. However, American golfer Brandt Snedeker is the only player to win the event more than once since it was named the Wyndham Championship.

Davis Love III is the only player to win the tournament three times (1992, 2006, 2015) while eight other players have won the event twice.
