As the regular season reaches its thrilling conclusion, players head to Greensboro, North Carolina, for the 2026 Wyndham Championship. First held in 1938, the Wyndham is the final chance for golfers to make the top 70 of the FedExCup standings and secure their spots in the upcoming playoffs.
Standing in the field’s way is Sedgefield Country Club, a short par-70 Donald Ross venue under 7,100 yards that rewards strategy over strength. Drivers can be kept in check, but iron accuracy, smart placement, and clutch putting on fast Bermuda greens are non-negotiables for surviving Sedgefield.
Even though this has been the golf betting year from hell, I’m officially on a heater after profiting for a second straight PGA TOUR event at . Unfortunately, I need to hit three straight outrights to get out of the hole: -49.79 units (u) this season.
For the Wyndham, I’m risking 2.06u on outrights and 3u on placements. Without further ado, here are my horses for the course at Sedgefield.

The following odds are based on my previous bets on the golfers listed below. Subject to change.
ð°ð· Tom Kim +3600 at DraftKings (0.56u) and Top-20 with ties +152 at Kalshi (0.75u)
ð°ð· Sungjae Im +5100 at DraftKings (0.39u) and Top-20 with ties +165 at Kalshi (0.75u)
ðºð¸ Davis Thompson +5800 at DraftKings (0.34u) and Top-10 with ties +398 at Kalshi (0.25u)
ðºð¸ Ben Kohles +5800 at DraftKings (0.34u) and Top-20 with ties +207 at Kalshi (0.5u)
ðºð¸ Blades Brown +7694 (0.26u) and Top-20 with ties +252 (0.5u), both at Kalshi
ðºð¸ Billy Horschel +11500 at DraftKings (0.17u) and Top-20 with ties +398 at Kalshi (0.25u)
Simply put, Kim has longer odds than guys he is playing better than. In fact, the only reason Toms odds arent shorter is that he won too recently and the market doesnt think he can win twice in a short span. But, winning begets more winning.
Furthermore, the South Korean is leading this field in total strokes gained (SG) over his last five starts, according to DataGolf.com. During that stretch, he has a third at the U.S. Open, a win at the Genesis Scottish Open and a T20 at the 3M Open in his last tournament.
Kim won the 2022 Wyndham on debut and withdrew last year in his only other visit to Sedgefield. Bermuda greens are his best putting surface over the last 12 months, per Betsperts Golf. He is leading this field in SG: Approach over the last 36 rounds and ranks third in Par 4 scoring. When you put all that together, anything above +3000 is a good bet for Kim.
Its been a tough year for Im, especially with the irons, as he ranks 149th in SG: Approach on TOUR this season.
However, Sungjae has gained strokes on approach in five of his seven career Wyndhams. Hes made the cut in all seven; Im finished T14-or-better in four of his first five appearances at Sedgefield, with a T6 in 2019, T9 in 2020 and T2 in 2022.
And while Sungjae is having a down year by his standards, he does have several nice finishes, such as T4 at the Valspar Championship, T5 at the Truist Championship, T14 at the British Open and a T15 at the Rocket Classic his last time out.
Finally, Ims odds at Bookmaker are +3919 at the time of writing, which is important because Bookmaker has a sharp golf betting market.
After cashing a top-20 ticket for me by tying for eighth at last weeks Rocket Classic, Im investing in Thompson again at the Wyndham. Hes improved year over year in his fo
