“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]
