The Wyndham Championship is a professional golf tournament in North Carolina on the PGA Tour. It is played annually in Greensboro, and was originally the Greater Greensboro Open.
Few tournaments carry as much pressure and action as the Wyndham Championship does in occupying this spot on the schedule. A season or a career can radically shift based on a player’s standing after Friday’s cut or Sunday’s final round.
Our Top 4 Picks
Webb Simpson @10/1
No one has gained more strokes, adjusted for field strength, in this event than Webb Simpson. He won the event in 2011 and has finished among the top three finishers in each of the last four tournaments at Sedgefield Country Club. Surprisingly Simpson sits top of the betting here but thats because the North Carolina native has always relished the chance to play close to home, especially at the Wyndham Championship.
Si Woo Kim @40/1
Maybe our most surprising pick but, In 2019, Kim finished in fifth place at the Wyndham Championship, before improving that position with a tie for third last season. In each of those two tournaments, Kim ranked in the top four in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green for the week.
Kevin Kisner @33/1
One of the most accurate drivers of the golf ball in the world in recent years, Kisner will relish this course. After an ugly stretch earlier this season that included four straight missed cuts, Kisner looks to be returning to form. Sedgefield is the perfect course for him to continue his ascension, with the FedEx Cup Playoffs looming in the near future.
Sung-Jae Im @28/1
Like Simpson, Sungjae Im is able to navigate around Sedgefield with accuracy off the tee. He ranks 14th in that stat on Tour this season, despite struggling in other areas of his game relative to prior seasons. He’s finished in the top ten in each of those appearances, in 2019 and 2020. Im has gained more strokes per round on the field in his time at Sedgefield than any other player in the field this week.
With names like Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose taking part there is vast experience in this comp and will be interesting come Sunday.
