PGA Money List 2012: Sergio Garcia's Wyndham Championship Win Boosts Him In Money Standings

The Wyndham Championship ended with Sergio Garcia on top, and the prize money from his first PGA win in quite some time boosted him heavily in the Money List standings.

Garcia's $936,000 winnings from Wyndham pushed him from 88th place all the way up to 35th place in the standings. Tiger Woods is still up in first place, with his three victories in the 2012 PGA Tour so far leading the field. Rory McIlroy is second overall, and has impressive credentials as he has only been in 12 events this tour, three fewer than Tiger.

Here are the top 10 money earners so far in the 2012 PGA Tour. You can also find the full list of up-to-date Money List standings at PGATour.com.

FedEx Cup Standings 2012: Sergio Garcia Jumps 69 Spots With Tournament Win

Sergio Garcia's first PGA Tour tournament win since the 2008 Players Championship has made him the biggest mover on the FedEx Cup Standings this week. His Wyndham Championship victory pushed him from No. 102 last week to No. 33.

This could mean that Garcia will be one of the 30 to qualify for the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Runner-up Tim Clark went from No. 109 to No. 54.

Heath Slocum is the only player to join the top 125 after the Wyndham Championship. He finished 31st in the event, good enough to vault him from No. 128 to No. 124. This was bad news for Jhonattan Vegas, who fell to No. 126 and will miss the Playoffs. He finished No. 54 last season.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Sergio Garcia Captures First Title In Four Years

On a day that has esclated into an important news day for the game of golf, Sergio Garcia has captured his first PGA Tour title in over four years by winning the 2012 Wyndham Championship by two-shots over the field.

Garcia rode a hot putter all tournament - which filtered over into Monday after play was suspended late Sunday afternoon in the final round - en route to an impressive 18-under par final score. His nearest competition came from Tim Clark (16-under), who had tied Garcia for the lead early on the back nine but failed to maintain his momentum. By the time players reached no. 18, Garcia had a three-shot cushion and still managed the victory despite making a bogey on the final hole.

Garcia's last win came at the 2008 Players Championship where he narrowly defeated Paul Goydos in extra holes. His victory Monday will all but solidify his position in the FedEx Cup Playoffs as well, which opens later this week at The Barclays at Bethpage Black in New York.

Wyndham Championship 2012 Learderboard: Tim Clark Pulls Even With Sergio Garcia

As the final round of the 2012 Wyndham Championship resumed Monday morning, Sergio Garcia held a one-shot lead over the field. However, PGA Tour veteran Tim Clark has tied Garcia for the lead at 15-under par as both players make the turn.

Clark is 3-under for his round and is currently playing hole no. 11 on a rain-soaked Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. Clark's continued hotstreak with his putter has put him into position to capture his first title of the season should he hold the lead.

Meanwhile, Garcia's putting has been equally as impressive this week. While only recording one birdie so far in his final round, Sergio has kept himself in contention for his first PGA Tour win in over four years. He is currently one hole behind Clark and playing in the final pairing of the day.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Sergio Garcia Still Leads With Play Suspended

Sergio Garcia is holding off a trio of golfers one stroke behind him through four holes Sunday at the Wyndham Championship, which is currently suspended due to weather.

Garcia is at 15-under while Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley are right behind at 14-under at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

Garcia is at 1-under for the day after birdying the Par-3 third and parring the Par-4 first, second and fourth holes. The Spaniard is looking for his first PGA Tour win since 2008. Clark and Cauley are at 1-under for the day and Dufner is at 2-under after birdying 3 and 5.

Chad Campbell, Bill Haas, Jimmy Walker and Harris English were all at 12-under before hitting the turn.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Sergio Garcia Barely Holding Top Spot

Sergio Garcia's hold on the Wyndham Championship leaderboard remains, albeit by the smallest of margins.

The Spanish golfer remains one stroke ahead of Bud Cauley and Tim Clark who are both sitting at 13-under. A win for Garcia would be his first PGA win since 2008, and would most likely carry a Ryder Cup roster spot with it.

Nicolas Colsaerts has made a strong showing today through nine holes, going 3-under so far to crawl into a tie for fourth place at 12-under. Americans Heath Slocum and John Merrick are also 3-under through nine holes today to sit at 11-under overall.

Garcia, Cauley, Clark and Jason Dufner (who sits at 12-under) all are yet to tee off -- which guarantees plenty of drama heading into the final day.

Wyndham Championship Leaderboard: Y.E. Yang On FedEx Cup Cut Line, Nicolas Colsaerts Playing For Ryder Cup Spot

The final round of the 2012 Wyndham Championship is underway in Greensboro, and a number of well-known names will need to make a move to qualify in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup Standings. Y.E. Yang has been hovering around the qualifying threshold all week, but his chances took a hit with an inward 36 on the back side yesterday. He's currently projected at 127 in the standings.

Yang started his day with three birdies on the front side to go out in 32, but he dropped a shot on the 11th at Sedgefield. He is currently 7-under and a win this week is out of the question at this point. Yang has struggled a bit since becoming the first Asian-born player to win a major, a rousing victory at Hazeltine, but he's capable of getting on a hot streak if he can just make it into the playoffs.

Nicolas Colsaerts is another foreign-born player trying to make a move, only he's playing more for Ryder Cup position than the FedEx Cup. With the European team standings still open until the Johnnie Walker, the big-hitting Belgian still has a chance to play his way on or impress captain Jose Maria Olazabal. Many suspect that Colsaerts will be a captain's pick, battling with veteran Padraig Harrington, whom Olazabal seemed to indicate was on the outside looking in.

He's doing his best to stay in the conversation this week, and is even in contention after two birdies on his first two holes. Colsaerts is one of the longer hitters in the world, and he could certainly post a low number to chase down the leaders on this Donald Ross layout. There are some good numbers out there, with Kevin Kisner posting a 66 with the low clubhouse round. Charles Howell III is currently 4-under and looking to match that.

Leader Sergio Garcia, another Euro who's battling Ian Poulter for the final automatic spot on the Ryder Cup team, tees off just after 2 p.m. ET.

Wyndham Championship Leaderboard: Sergio Garcia Looks To Finish Tournament With A Win

The fourth and final round of the Wyndham Championship is under way, and Sergio Garcia of Spain will be looking to close out the tournament with a victory. Garcia is currently atop the leaderboard but leads by the slimmest of margins, as other golfers are nipping at his heels.

The 32-year-old Garcia, who is set to tee off at 2:05 p.m. ET, is 14-under for the tournament, but Bud Cauley and Tim Clark are right behind at 13-under.

Of the golfers that have already begun the final round of play, Paul Casey of Great Britain sits at the bottom of the leaderboard. Through 15 holes, Casey is 7-over on the day and is 12-over for the tournament.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Sergio Garcia Finishes 3rd Round With Lead

After three rounds at the Wyndham Championship in Greenboro, N.C., the field is still very tight with Sergio Garcia one stroke ahead of the closest competitors. After shooting a 66 on Saturday, Garcia (14-under) lleads a field that features 15 other golfers with scorecards at 10-under par or better.

Through the first two rounds of the tournament, Jimmy Walker led Webb Simpson for the lead, but both Walker and Simpson shot 71 in their third rounds and dropped to ties for seventh and 10th, respectively. Simpson is the reigning champion of the Wyndham Championship, and won the tournament at 18-under.

Directly behind Spanish-born Garcia entering the final day of the tournament are Bud Cauley and Tim Clark in a tie for second with scores of 13-under.

The best score of the day on Saturday came from Jason Duffner, who shot 63 for 7-under on the day and 12-under overall, catapulting him into a tie for fourth.

Wyndham Championship 2012: 6 Players Tied For The Lead As Third Round Action Continues

The top of the leaderboard is crowded at the 2012 Wyndham Championship as there is currently a six-way tie for first place.

Harris English, Carl Pettersson, Tim Clark, Sergio Garcia, Webb Simpson and second round leader Jimmy Walker currently share the lead at 12-under. Richard Lee and Bud Cauley are just one stroke back at 11-under. Lee is 6-under through 17 holes on Saturday, vaulting him up 16 spots on the leaderboard.

Walker is even par through his first eight holes Saturday. He dropped a shot early with a bogey on the second hole, but birdied the eighth hole to get back to 12-under overall and even-par on the day.

Justin Leonard has the lowest posted score thus far, jumping into a tie for ninth place thanks to a third round 64. Leonard got off to a great start, posting birdies on his first four holes. For the day, he finished with eight birdies, two bogeys and eight pars.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Justin Leonard, Angel Cabrera Posting Early Red Numbers

Weekend play is underway in Greensboro with some of the game's biggest names fighting to stay alive to advance to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The biggest movers on Saturday are Justin Leonard and Angel Cabrera, who are both setting blistering paces on the outward nine at Sedgefield.

Stirring the echoes of Ian Poulter last week at Kiawah, Leonard started his round with four straight birdies to move to 8-under for the championship. Leonard's best days are certainly behind him, but he can get as hot as anyone with the putter and make a charge. He's currently in position to play his way into the FedEx Cup, but he'll need to close strong on the Donald Ross layout over the rest of the weekend, and hope the leaders don't post a number to run away from him.

Cabrera can also move into the top 125 and play the Barclays next week if he really turns things on over the next 27 holes. He's 5-under through his first 13 holes, currently projected to stay well on the outside of the playoff qualifiers. The easygoing Argentinian has yet to make a bogey in the third round, and the big hitter still has a par-5 ahead of him to add another red number coming in.

Y.E. Yang, who's currently inside the top 125, is 3-under through his first seven holes. Yang has struggled a bit since beating out Tiger Woods for the PGA at Hazeltine, but the Korean is one of the more unflappable players on Tour. He's certainly capable of going on a run and keeping his season alive in the week-to-week do-or-die format.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Weather Delay Halts Play

Although most golfers have finished their second rounds in the 2012 Wyndham Championship, play for the remaining few has been suspended due to weather.

At 5:15 p.m. ET, storms moved into the area, causing play to be suspended. They are hoping to get play resumed so that all of the second rounds can finish on Friday.

Jimmy Walker still leads the field at 12-under following his impressive Friday round of shooting eight-under par with 62 strokes.

Right behind him at 11-under is Webb Simpson who birdied the 17th and 18th holes to finish his round at 63 strokes. He finished his round just as play was being suspended.

Sergio Garcia is a notable at 10-under, he also had a great Friday round shooting seven-under.

Wyndham Championship 2012 Leaderboard: Tim Herron Ties Course Record With Second Round 61

Tim Herron tied a course record at the Wyndham Championship on Friday with a second round score of a 9-under 61, a stark contrast to his disastrous 6-over round on Thursday. The big score was good enough to move Herron 114 spots up the leaderboard, although he still trails leader Jimmy Walker (12-under) by nine strokes.

Herron finished the round with ten birdies, including six birdies in his final nine holes and five straight on the back nine.

Davis Love III is now 3-under through nine holes and is threatening to make a run at the leaders, entering the day 3-under before catching fire on the front nine this afternoon.

Carl Pettersson, who held onto the lead after the first round, is struggling so far today to keep up with Jimmy Walker and Sergio Garcia and is even through 10 holes, 8-under so far on the tournament.

Wyndham Championship 2012 Leaderboard: Jimmy Walker Takes Control Of First Place

With one hole remaining in his second round, Jimmy Walker sits atop the leaderboard at the 2012 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, by shooting a 8-under par on the day to amass an overall score of 12-under.

Tim Clark, Sergio Garcia and Harris English are all currently tied for second, sitting two shots off the lead.

Clark jumped out to a strong start on Friday adding to his impressive 7-under with birdies on both the first and fifth holes to propel the South African past Carl Pettersson's 8-under to gain sole possession of first place. He eventually finished the second round with a 67.

Garcia entered the day with a 3-under, but thanks to seven birdies on Day 2 he finished the round with a final score of 7-under and will be entering the weekend within striking distance of the lead.

English entered the day at 4-under and added to his score by amassing a 6-under on Day 2 thanks to six birdies through 15 holes. At this time, he has three holes remaining in his round.

Wyndham Championship Leaderboard: Tim Clark Two Clear Of Field

Tim Clark shot a 63 to put him in second place on Thursday, and through 13 holes, he isn't faring much worse in his second round. Clark leads the field at the Wyndham Championship with an 11-under, two clear of the pack.

Clark has five birdies to go with only one bogey in a field where everybody is scoring well in Greensboro, NC. Behind him is a group at 9-under comprised of Matt Every, Scott Stallings, and Harris English, who is 5-under through only nine holes on Friday. However, Clark's best competition for the top spot today will probably come from Carl Pettersson, who has had a strong season and currently sits at 8-under, despite not having teed off yet on the day. Tied with Pettersson for third are Tommy Gainey and Jimmy Walker.

Clark is ranked 109th in the FedEx Cup rankings; the only PGA Tour win to date for the South African was the 2010 Players Championship.

Wyndham Championship Leaderboard: Tim Clark Takes Early Friday Lead

Great conditions in Greensboro have everybody scoring well at the Wyndham Championship, and in the early stages of the second round, Tim Clark has pulled into a lead atop the leaderboard at 9-under.

Clark started the day at 7-under, a stroke off of the score set by Carl Pettersson, who tees off later today. But the South African has continued where he left off yesterday after shooting a first round 63, birdieing the first and fifth holes to take sole possession of first place. With the scores other golfers are putting up, Clark won't be too comfortable: Matt Every is also two-under through eight holes and sits at 7-under, while Pettersson is looking to keep up his strong play from the PGA Championship, where he finished in a tie for third.

With all four of golf's majors in the bag, players are vying to earn FedEx Cup points and make their way into one of the 125 spots in The Barclays.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Leaderboard Through Round 1

First-round action at the 2012 Wyndham Championship has concluded, with several golfers having distinguished themselves from the rest of the pack.

Carl Pettersson of Sweden led the way with birdies on four straight holes at 5, 6, 7, and 8. He then birdied 11 and 12, before capping off his round with birdies on 16 and 18 to finish with eight birdies and no bogeys. After that sensational opening 18, Petterson is your clubhouse leader at 8-under.

Just one shot behind him is David Mathis, who was nearly as perfect as Pettersson, posting seven birdies without carding a single bogey. Mathis birdied Nos. 2, 5, 8 and 9, and then went on a run of three straight birdies from 13 to 15.

Tim Clark is tied with Mathis at 7-under, thanks to an eagle on the fourth and birdies on Nos. 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17. The top three players combined for 20 birdies, one eagle and zero bogeys on Thursday.

Right behind those three are Tom Gillis, Scott Stallings and Troy Matteson, all of whom are tied for fourth place at 6-under after shooting opening-round scores of 64. Matt Every is right behind them in seventh place at 5-under.

Wyndham Championship 2012: Carl Pettersson Fires 62 In Greensboro

Carl Pettersson, the victim of what he called a “little stupid rule” at last week’s PGA Championship, came roaring back on Thursday to fire an 8-under 62 in Thursday’s opening round of the Wyndham Championship. Pettersson, determined to leave Sunday’s two-stroke penalty for a hazard infringement behind, held the early clubhouse lead and a yearning to put himself in contention for the FedEx Cup, which is up for grabs starting next week.

“We've got an important stretch of golf now with the playoffs,” Pettersson told reporters Wednesday before going out and scoring eight birdies to come up one shot shy of Sedgefield Country Club’s course record, which he set during the 2008 Wyndham Championship. “This week is one of my favorite events on tour and looking forward to this week and the playoffs coming off.”

He was hardly alone, as a host of golfers -- including John Daly, who would cadge a playoff berth with a finish no worse than 13th this week -- had their eyes on the $10 million bonus that goes to the guy at the top of the leaderboard after four events that begin at The Barclays next Thursday.

Dustin Johnson, who was not in the Wyndham field as he prepared to defend his Barclays title, knew exactly what was at stake.

“I always want to win the FedExCup. For one, it's a nice purse,” he said during a conference call with reporters on Thursday. “I don't know anyone that could argue that they couldn't use that money, so that's one thing that's really cool about it.”

Pettersson, who shared third place at the PGA Tour’s final major of the season last week, would put himself in prime position to cash that check with a strong finish in Greensboro. Ninth in points coming in, he would play his way into the coveted top five with a win and its accompanying 500 FEC points.

Any of the golfers who starts the Tour Championship in the top five would hit the jackpot with a victory in the final playoff game.

About that two-stroke penalty that Pettersson incurred when his backswing in a hazard moved a nearby leaf? The 34-year-old with a dual U.S./Swedish citizenship conceded that echoes of the ruling spooked him a bit in his first time back on the field since violating Rule 13-4.

“I am a little gun shy now. I was in the hazard on 15. My ball was sitting up. I put the club about up here,” he said with a laugh, indicating a spot high above the ball, “the ball was down here.”

Wyndham Championship 2012: TV Schedule, Tee Times, Pairings For Thursday

The opening day of the 2012 Wyndham Championship from North Carolina's Sedgefield Country Club is set to begin bright and early on Thursday morning, as a stacked field of golfers will enter in search of coveted FedEx points heading into next week's PGA Championship.

Thursday's opening round will send three-man groups off both of Sedgefield's nine hole tracks starting at 7:00 a.m. EST. Defending champion Webb Simpson, who reigned victorious earlier this year at the 2012 U.S. Open, is scheduled to begin his tournament on the back nine at 7:40 am alongside former champs Carl Pettersson ('08) and Davis Love III ('06).

Hoping to get things rolling for next week's big major championship, Simpson is anxious to be back near his hometown of Raleigh with a chance to build plenty of momentum. "I was looking forward to this week ever since last year winning here," Simpson told the media on Wednesday. "All my memories here are just awesome."

Live action of the first round will be available on The Golf Channel from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., while Sirius XM will also provide a concurrent radio broadcast from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m.. Here are Thursday's tee times:
