Young Favored as Wyndham Championship Opens at Sedgefield

The final regular-season event will decide which players finish inside the top 70 and advance to the FedExCup Playoffs.

Overview

  • The Wyndham Championship tees off Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club with defending champion Cameron Young entering as the betting favorite after a season that included multiple wins.
  • Rookie Jackson Koivun holds the final guaranteed FedExCup spot at No. 70 and is the primary bubble storyline to watch this week at the regular-season finale.
  • Several notable players, including Brooks Koepka, sit well outside the top 70 and must post very high finishes this week to reach the FedExCup playoff field.
  • Sportsbooks and analytics are shaping expectations this week as a SportsLine 10,000-simulation model produced longshot parlays and projected leaderboard outcomes while late withdrawals have nudged odds.
  • Sedgefield’s Donald Ross layout rewards driving accuracy and approach play, and the winner’s 500 FedExCup points create a fast route for big moves in the standings and season status for players.
