Lumos is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the Wyndham Championship, supplying fiber internet service for the tournament and ensuring an ultra-fast and reliable connection throughout Sedgefield Country Club.

Lumos, a leading 100% Fiber Optic Internet and Total Home Wi-Fi service provider in the Mid-Atlantic, announced today that it will return as the official fiber internet and Wi-Fi provider for the 2024 Wyndham Championship. Lumos' service will enhance the tournament experience for organizers, players, spectators and the Greensboro community.

Fast and reliable internet is critical at professional sporting events. With 100% fiber optic internet, organizers can seamlessly process vast amounts of data, almost instantaneously delivering crucial statistics like ball speed and apex height. With on-site internet access, spectators can stream other tournament holes in real time, ensuring they don't miss any action.

"We are excited to return as the official fiber internet provider for the Wyndham Championship, equipping fans and event organizers with a seamless and reliable digital experience," said Brian Stading, Lumos CEO. "The partnership further demonstrates Lumos' commitment to enriching the communities we serve."

“Lumos is a fantastic company, and we’re thrilled to partner with them again this year,” executive director Mark Brazil said. “Lumos is a major fiber optic internet company in the Carolinas and Virginia, and anytime we can work with a regional company like Lumos to provide a vital part of tournament operations, we are supporting our region, and that is very important to us.”

Lumos' participation in the Wyndham Championship highlights the essential need for reliable internet at sporting events, ensuring efficient and effective communication between major media outlets like CBS, the Golf Channel, and the PGA TOUR. These interactions underscore society's growing dependence on robust internet access, even at events where it might typically be considered secondary.

Lumos is an active member of the Piedmont Triad Partnership, a leadership and business organization in the Triad region with a long-standing history of supporting the Wyndham Championship. This year, in addition to the fiber internet connection provided to spectators at no cost, Lumos will have a booth on-site where eventgoers can learn more about its internet services and Lumos' work towards bridging the digital divide.
