Greensboro’s longtime PGA Tour stop gets a new name, new sponsor and a major role in the TOUR’s Championship Series beginning in 2028.
The PGA Tour’s Greensboro event is getting a major makeover, and one of golf’s oldest stops is suddenly part of the sport’s new future.
Beginning in 2028, the tournament at Sedgefield Country Club will move into the PGA TOUR Championship Series, while Raymond James takes over as title sponsor under the new name GO by Raymond James.
That’s a pretty significant shift for a tournament that has been part of the Tour landscape since 1938.
Before the bigger format change arrives, Greensboro will get one more traditional run in 2027.
GO by Raymond James will be played Aug. 2-8 at Sedgefield as a full-field event, with coverage across CBS, Golf Channel, PGA TOUR LIVE, PGA TOUR Radio and the World Feed.
Then comes 2028.
The PGA TOUR Championship Series, first unveiled in June 2026, is expected to feature roughly 23 to 24 events from February through August.
That structure includes THE PLAYERS Championship, the majors, postseason events and international team competitions such as the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
For Greensboro, the move gives a nearly 90-year-old event a place in the Tour’s evolving top-tier structure instead of leaving it behind.
And the history here is enormous.
Sam Snead won the inaugural tournament in 1938 and went on to win the Greensboro event eight times, a record for victories in a single PGA Tour tournament.
Snead also shares the all-time PGA Tour wins record with Tiger Woods at 82. Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan are also among the legends who have won in Greensboro.
More recently, 24-year-old Michael Brennan won the 2026 edition for his second PGA Tour victory and grabbed the only available ticket into the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Sedgefield Country Club has been central to the tournament’s identity as well. The Donald Ross layout returned as host in 2008 after a 31-year absence and has now staged the event more than 40 times.
Raymond James’ arrival also adds a new financial and community partner to a tournament already known for charitable work across central North Carolina.
The Piedmont Triad Charitable Foundation has helped provide more than one million meals to local families while supporting youth, education and community programs.
The Tour is changing fast. Greensboro isn’t disappearing.
Instead, one of its oldest tournaments is being repositioned for whatever comes next.
