2023 Wyndham Championship Bets: Odds, Picks & Predictions

by |

“Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down…” Johnny Cash’s rich baritone promises you “can go on for a long time” but, like the ramblers and gamblers, the PGA Tour season itself cuts down to the top-70 for the FedEx Cup playoffs. After this week’s Wyndham Championship, we (the ramblers and gamblers) will zoom in on a smaller group of potential plays until dwindled down to the 30 men who compete at the Tour Championship. The Wyndham is the last gasp for the golfers on the top-70 bubble. Some will soar into competing for many more millions of dollars. Others will explode into the soapy film of the offseason.

2023 Wyndham Championship Bets: Odds, Picks & Predictions

(Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Wyndham Championship is held at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The par-70 layout is on the shorter side at just over 7,100 yards. Accuracy, off the tee and certainly on approach, is at a premium. The green complexed are large, but fast. Like last week’s 3M Open, the winning score will likely end up better than 20-under par. Par-4 scoring, birdie-or-better percentage (BOB%), and bogey avoidance also carry some weight in my statistical model. Defending champ Tom Kim is still nursing an ankle injury and is not here to defend his first PGA Tour victory, but seven of the last ten winners here came from long odds (more than 50-1). With the intoxicating aroma of fresh tobacco in the air, let’s tee off.

Si Woo Kim

There isn’t a golfer in this field with a better course history at Sedgefield than Si Woo Kim. He simply contends here every single season and has a victory in his back pocket. Kim also does well at the Sony Open, which bookends the first and last full-field events in the PGA Tour season. The courses are remarkably similar and hold strong comp numbers. Si Woo is also enjoying the best season of his career to date and will look to improve upon his playoff standings.

Picks: Outright +2200 [1u]; Top-5 +500 [1u]

Ludvig Aberg

The young Swede has wowed us this season. The only thing missing is a signature performance to wrap his rookie campaign into a bow. With the number of par-4 holes here that will offer approach distances under 150 yards, Aberg’s precision is incredibly desirable.

Picks: Outright +4500 [1u]; Top-10 +450 [1u]

Akshay Bhatia

One of the mainstays of this column is now entering his first event post-victory. Fitting that Akshay Bhatia seized his first Tour victory in Northern California, his presence in Greensboro holds a bit more clout these days, especially since he needs a strong showing to qualify for the playoffs. Bhatia also comes in at the very tippity-top of my stat model by a wide margin. I saw his approach game firsthand and it will play this week.

Picks: Outright +8000 [0.5u]; Top-10 +750 [0.5u]

Kevin Yu

Kevin Yu is a young gun who doesn’t get a lot (if any) fanfare. He is an immaculate ball-striker, but has yet to pull it all together over 72 holes. The quality of field at the Wyndham lends to Yu’s talent shining through a lot better. He landed fourth in my model, bolstered by his elite play off the tee and very strong approach game.

Picks: Outright +9000 [0.5u]; Top-20 +360 [0.5u]

Dylan Wu

Perhaps no golfer is having a better season completely off the mainstream radar than Dylan Wu. The Northwestern alum from Southern Oregon finished fifth at the 3M Open last week and helped me rake in a few pennies in DFS in an otherwise modest week. His odds still do not reflect the consistency in which Wu has played. He is a steady performer in all areas, and ranks ninth in this field in BOB%.

Picks: Outright +10000 [0.25u]; Top-20 +360 [0.5u]
