PGA Tour - Wyndham Championship

August 8, 2024


The Wyndham Championship is a significant event on the PGA Tour calendar, mainly because it is the last opportunity for golfers to make the Top 70 for the FedEx Cup standings. This tournament kicks off Thursday, August 8, at the Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina. The purse for this event is $7,900,000, while Sung-Jae Im is the betting favorite with a moneyline at +1400.

Wyndham Championship Betting Preview

The Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club is a Par 70 that spans about 7,100 yards. Golfers who have succeeded here typically score in the higher teens and 20s under par, so expect another appealing showing.


Lucas Glover won this event last year with a -20 and led the field for driving accuracy. Ten of the previous 12 winners landed in the top 15 for driving accuracy when playing at that event.


Strokes gained approach will also be key to victory. Golfers who have the most appealing approach to their Game at the green will likely be in contention on the final day.

Golfers That Could Win

There are plenty of golfers to choose from for this event who could steal the show. Below are a few who could make the biggest noise in this tournament.

Nicolai Hojgaard +4800

Hojgaard is no stranger to scoring at a high rate to win events. Two of his three professional wins have been at least -20 or more.


He tied for 14th here last season, so he has had some quality experience since then. Prior to this event, he improved his strokes and gained approach and tee-to-green stats.

Billy Horschel +2500

Horschel is safe in the FedEx Cup points (27th), so he can relax as he enters an event where he has played relatively well. The last seven times he has played here, he has landed in the top six four times.


He has positive momentum coming into this tournament, as he placed T2 at The Open. If he can climb into the top three heading into the final day, this will be a great showing.

Odds, Series Trends, and Free Pick

MyBookie has you covered for betting on the Wyndham Championship; with Sung-Jae, I'm favored to win. His recent performances have helped build confidence in bettors. Many golfers make an appealing case for victory, but I have an edge.


I've landed in the top 12 seven times throughout his previous nine starts. Looking at his latest 24 rounds, he is ranked (compared to the field) seventh in strokes gained approach and third for birdie or better percentage. His consistency here is also impressive, making him the golfer to beat.

Final Pick: Sung-Jae Im +1400
