Wyndham Championship 2024 Intro

Well, that went fast.

It’s only just the start of August and the PGA TOUR has already taken in all four majors and even an Olympics.

And here we are now, about to watch the final event of the FedExCup Regular season.

As with last year’s rejig, only the top 70 will advance to the Playoffs. Previously it was 125.

Once more, the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina plays the role of last-chance saloon.

The field includes 16 players who contested the Olympic Games golf tournament at Le Golf National although none of the medallists.

Korean duo Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim head the betting while two of the main protagonists from last month’s Open Championship at Royal Troon - Billy Horschel and Shane Lowry - come next in the betting.

A quick note on how the Playoffs progress. The top 70 in the FedExCup standings punch their tickets to the first of the three post-season events, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

After that, the top 50 head to the BMW Championship before the final 30 fight it out for the big jackpot at the TOUR Championship.

Sedgefield Country Club is a short par 70 where precision beats power. 

It has small, undulating greens and 20-under or lower has won seven of the last eight editions.

• Brandt Snedeker holds the course record after shooting 59 in 2018 

• Henrik Stenson (2017) and J.T. Poston (2019) have the 72-hole record of 258

Favorites to Win the Wyndham Championship 2024

Sungjae Im (+1400) at bet365

It’s no surprise to see Im installed as the clear market leader here. Starting from May he’s delivered six top 10s and a 12th in his last nine starts, posting seventh in the Open Championship last time where he was 5th for SG: Putting. The Korean has excellent course form too with five top 25s from five visits including second, sixth and ninth.

Si Woo Kim (+2200) at bet365

If Im’s course form is impressive, check out Kim’s numbers. The former PLAYERS champion won here in 2016 and has since added fifth (2019), third (2020) and second (2021). His current form is consistent rather than eye-catching and despite a host of top 20s, 30s and 40s he hasn’t had a top 10 since sixth at Sawgrass in March.

Shane Lowry (+2200) at bet365

The Irishman had the honor of carrying his country’s flag in the Olympics opening ceremony but 26th at Le Golf National was a slight disappointment following sixth at the Open and ninth in the Travelers heading in. Lowry is 5-for-6 at Sedgefield but his only top 20 is seventh in 2017.

Take a Chance on Thompson Again

Davis Thompson made the golfing world sit up with a stunning victory in the John Deere Classic last month.

The 25-year-old University of Georgia grad carded 62-64 on the weekend to shoot 28-under, end four clear of the field and secure his first PGA Tour win.

It had been coming. 

Thompson had finished runner-up at the Rocket Mortgage Classic the week before and that followed on from a top 10 in the U.S. Open.

Those performances should set off plenty of klaxons as they have relevance to this week.

Last year’s Wyndham winner Lucas Glover had previously won the John Deere while Thompson’s runner-up finish at the Rocket Mortgage came on another Donald Ross track, Detroit Golf Club.

Thompson has had a couple of looks at this week’s course and fired 68-66-69-69 last year to finish tied 22nd.

He’s kept his good form going with bookend 65s in the Scottish Open and making the cut on his Open debut so, back on home soil, it’s fair to expect another big challenge.  

Back Thompson, who has strong form in North Carolina, for the win at (+3500) with bet365. 

Horschel to Beat Young

We landed yet another 72-hole match bet last week in comfortable fashion as -120 pick Tom Kim beat Viktor Hovland by nine strokes at the Olympics.

To keep the streak going, this week I’ll back Billy Horschel at (-120) with bet365 to beat Cam Young.

Horschel had to pull out of the 3M Open with a fever following his superb second-place finish in the Open Championship but he’s over that now.

That means we can focus on the four top sixes and 11th in his last seven starts here.

While Horschel is a course horse, this is Young’s debut at Sedgefield.

He has decent current finishes of 31-6-9 but Horschel’s stellar Sedgefield form is the big key to this one.     

Kuchar for Top 10

Matt Kuchar is on the outside looking in when it comes to making the Playoffs.

That gives him incentive, and a third place at the 3M Open last time suggests he can make an impact on the leaderboard this week. 

Back the veteran at a tasty (+750) with BetMGM to finish in the Top 10.
