Michael Brennan wins Wyndham Championship, qualifies for FedEx Cup playoffs

Published 9 August 2026

Michael Brennan secured his second PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday, August 9, 2026, earning a crucial spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs. The 24-year-old closed with a 6-under 64 at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, finishing at 22-under 258 to win by three strokes over Beau Hossler.

Brennan began the final round tied for the lead with Hossler. He seized control on the front nine, making five consecutive birdies from the fourth hole to build a three-shot advantage at the turn. After a bogey on the 11th, he steadied himself with a birdie on the 13th and saved par on the 17th after a wayward tee shot. He capped the tournament by sinking a 13-foot birdie putt on the final hole.

"I did a great job for nine holes," Brennan said. "I felt really good on the front line, just playing my game. I was really staying within myself, hitting good shots, felt like I was really in control. Got a little nervous around 10-11. I made a really nice par putt on 12 and that kind of steadied me a little bit going through. I'm just glad to make a few putts coming in."

The victory was a dramatic turnaround for Brennan, who entered the final regular-season event...
