With just 1 event left before the FedExCup Playoffs begin, players will take a crack at qualifying this week by finishing high up the leaderboard at the 2023 Wyndham Championship. The 1st round begins on Thursday from Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Below, we look at the 2023 Wyndham Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Defending champion Tom Kim will not be playing this week after suffering an ankle injury during The Open Championship two weeks ago. Hideki Matsuyama is the betting favorite, coming into the event at +2000, tied with Russell Henley and Sungjae Im. Also in the field are Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, Adam Scott and Gary Woodland as they try to make one last push for a spot in the playoffs.
Sedgefield Country Club (par 70, 7,131 yards) is a Donald Ross design and opened in 1926. It has hosted the Wyndham Championship since 2008, typically yielding low scores in the range of 20-under or better for 4 rounds. Kim won it last year at 20-under-par, 5 shots clear of the next-closest competitors, John Huh and Sungjae Im.

Wyndham Championship – Expert picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 3:24 p.m. ET.
Sungjae Im (+2000)
Im missed the cut last week at the 3M Open where he was one of the favorites to win, so it was a massively disappointing result for him. However, he’s coming to another course where he’s had plenty of high finishes: 3 top-10s and 4 top-25s in the last 4 years, including a runner-up in 2022. He’s poised to bounce back from last week’s MC.
Cam Davis (+3300)
I’m riding Davis again this week at another tournament he’s played well in. In 2 starts at the Wyndham, he’s finished 15th and 22nd. Davis is coming off a T-10 at the 3M Open on Sunday following a final-round 65 that vaulted him up the leaderboard.
Wyndham Championship picks – Contenders
Billy Horschel (+6000)
Horschel is one of the marquee players fighting for a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs this week, needing a win in order to get through. It’d be a perfect way to finish the regular season, which has been a frustrating one for the former Florida Gator. He has 3 top-10s in his last 5 starts in this tournament and nothing worse than a 27th-place finish in his last 4.
Byeong Hun An (+4500)
An is playing at a high level right now, finishing T-23 at the 3M Open after tying for 3rd in the Scottish Open a few weeks earlier. He’s finished 35th and 3rd in his last 2 starts in the Wyndham Championship, so the course history is there for him.
Wyndham Championship picks – Long shot
Webb Simpson (+8000)
Simpson might be having a dreadful year with more missed cuts (8) than made ones, but you’d be a fool not to consider him at this tournament in his home state. His last 5 starts here are as follows: 7th, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd and 3rd, from 2021 to 2017. It seems no matter how poorly he’s playing, he always plays well here.
