GREENSBORO — John Daly, David Toms, Boo Weekley and Bubba Watson have committed to play in the 70th annual Wyndham Championship, the tournament announced today.

The Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 17-23 at Sedgefield Country Club.

Daly has committed to the Wyndham Championship through the PGA Tour. If he does not qualify for the tournament, he will play on a sponsor’s exemption. Daly has five PGA Tour wins, including the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 British Open. Daly will be making his 10th Wyndham Championship appearance.

Toms is currently 11th in the PGA Tour FedExCup point standings. The 12-time PGA Tour winner will be making his 11th Wyndham Championship appearance; he recorded his best finish here in 2004, when he tied for fourth place. The Louisiana State University graduate won the 2001 PGA Championship.

Weekley is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, but he is perhaps best known for his stellar performance in last year’s Ryder Cup Matches. He earned 2.5 points in his three Ryder Cup matches while also serving as the winning United States team’s emotional leader. He has never played in the Wyndham Championship.

Watson will be making his third Wyndham Championship appearance. Watson had his best PGA Tour season to date in 2008, making the Tour Championship and finishing 30th in the final FedExCup standings.
