The PGA Tour regular season is ending, and golfers are heading to Greensboro, North Carolina, for the 2026 Wyndham Championship. This tournament, first held in 1938, offers the final chance for players to secure a spot in the FedExCup playoffs by ranking in the top 70 of the standings.
The Sedgefield Country Club serves as this year’s venue. It’s a par-70 course designed by Donald Ross, spanning just under 7,100 yards. Here, strategy is key over sheer strength. Effective use of irons, smart shot placement, and precise putting on the fast Bermuda greens are essential for success.
Michael Thorbjornson has finally arrived, sparking discussion about Patrick Cantlay’s decision-making and the tension surrounding the FedExCup playoff bubble.
After a tough year in golf betting, recent wins at the PGA TOUR events have put me back on track. However, achieving three consecutive outright wins is needed to recover from a season deficit of -49.79 units.
For the Wyndham, I’m placing 2.06 units on outright winners and 3 units on placement bets. Here’s my betting strategy for the tournament at Sedgefield:
- Tom Kim: +3600 at DraftKings (0.56u) and Top-20 with ties +152 at Kalshi (0.75u)
- Sungjae Im: +5100 at DraftKings (0.39u) and Top-20 with ties +165 at Kalshi (0.75u)
- Davis Thompson: +5800 at DraftKings (0.34u) and Top-10 with ties +398 at Kalshi (0.25u)
- Ben Kohles: +5800 at DraftKings (0.34u) and Top-20 with ties +207 at Kalshi (0.5u)
- Blades Brown: +7694 (0.26u) and Top-20 with ties +252 (0.5u), both at Kalshi
- Billy Horschel: +11500 at DraftKings (0.17u) and Top-20 with ties +398 at Kalshi (0.25u)
