The Wyndham Championship Pro-Am: The Only Way to Play a PGA Tour Event With Hotel Points
Most hotel loyalty auctions sell you a seat to watch. This one puts a club in your hands.
Right now, Wyndham Rewards is auctioning playing spots in the 2026 Wyndham Championship Pro-Am, the Wednesday pro-am at the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The lots went live on June 8 and bidding closes on June 18. As of this writing, the lead bid on a Pro-Am playing package is 250,000 Wyndham points.
We track every Wyndham Rewards auction on Point Auctions, and this is the one we circle on the calendar every June. No other hotel program offers anything like it: an actual playing spot in a PGA Tour pro-am, paid for with hotel points.
What's live right now
Wyndham listed a full slate of Wyndham Championship packages, all closing June 18:
Play in the Pro-Am VIP Package — the headline lot (two available), bidding at 250,000 points
Walk with a Pro: VIP Observer Package — inside-the-ropes access during the pro-am without playing (three lots), bidding at 100,000 points
Behind-the-Scenes + Hospitality VIP Package — bidding at 200,000 points
Hospitality Bundle — tournament-week hospitality (four lots), bidding at 100,000 points
You can watch the live bids on all of these on Point Auctions without juggling Wyndham's auction pages.
What the Pro-Am package delivers
Based on last year's edition, when the package covered the DeJoy/Wos Family Foundation Pro-Am played the Wednesday before the tournament:
A playing spot in the official PGA Tour pro-am — you play in a threesome and are paired with two different Tour professionals, one for each nine holes
Tournament hospitality — Champions Club access during tournament week
• A hotel stay at the Grandover Resort, the tournament's home base property
• Tournament tickets for the weekend rounds
Package details can shift a little year to year, so read the current listing's fine print before bidding. The core of it has stayed consistent: you are inside the ropes, on the card, playing Sedgefield with the pros.
The only PGA Tour pro-am you can enter with hotel points
Precision matters with a claim like this. Hilton Honors has auctioned pro-am playing spots before, at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and other DP World Tour and LPGA events. Those are real and occasionally excellent redemptions.
But on the PGA Tour itself, Wyndham is the only hotel program with a points path into the field. Marriott's golf Moments are play-the-course packages at places like Shadow Creek, not pro-am entries. IHG's golf lots are spectator hospitality. If the bucket-list item is playing a competition venue alongside Tour pros during tournament week, this auction is the only points route there.
What a pro-am spot costs in cash
Pro-am entries at PGA Tour events typically run $8,000 to $25,000+ per player, depending on the event, mostly sold through tournament partners and charity programs. The marquee ones go far higher: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am costs around $70,000 and requires an invitation on top of the check.
Against that backdrop, a 250,000-point winning bid looks strong. Wyndham points are worth roughly 0.9 to 1.1 cents each on standard hotel redemptions (a "go free" award night starts at 15,000 points). So the current bid represents about $2,300 to $2,800 in redemption value, for a package that would cost several times that in cash. Even if bidding doubles from here, the math holds up. Our cents per point guide walks through how to run this calculation on any auction.
Before you bid
A few honest checks, because this is a redemption you have to actually show up for:
1. You need the game. You'll be playing in front of gallery crowds, paired with professionals who are at work. You don't need to be a single-digit handicap, but if you can't keep pace, the day will be stressful instead of fun.
2. The date is fixed. The pro-am is the Wednesday before the tournament in early August, in Greensboro. No reschedules.
3. Have the points ready. Topping up after you're outbid on June 17 won't work. The balance needs to be there before the close.
4. Watch the close. Bidding on lots like this tends to move late. Track the auction on Point Auctions so the final day doesn't get away from you.
The bottom line
The Wyndham Championship Pro-Am auction is the single most distinctive redemption in the Wyndham Rewards program, and one of the most distinctive in all of hotel loyalty. The cash comparables start around $8,000, the current bid is 250,000 points, and the field is limited to people who both play golf and hold a Wyndham balance. That narrow bidder pool is exactly why the value is there.
Bidding closes June 18. If this is your year, the clock is already running.
