The tournament director behind the Wyndham Championship has managed to secure more commitments for the game right at the deadline as the field was finally set for the upcoming PGA Tour stop at the Sedgefield Country Club.
The field has now grown to include a number of notable players, including four more notable players that signed on at the very last minute on Friday Night.
According to the tournament director, Adam Scott, Ryan Moore, Sergio Garcia and Charles Howell III have all made commitments in this latest batch.
These are definitely some phenomenal commitments at the very last minute, especially when it comes to the international appeal that Garcia and Scott both carry.
