Wyndham Championship Notable Golfers

Cameron Young: Cameron Young is the No. 3-ranked golfer in the world and is in third place in the FedEx Cup standings, so there's no need for him to play this week when it comes to the upcoming playoffs, but he's the defending champion, so he'll try to go back-to-back at Sedgefield. Last year's Wyndham Championship was his first career win, and he's followed that up with wins at The Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship this year.

Patrick Cantlay: Patrick Cantlay hasn't had a great season by his standards. He is 41st in the FedEx Cup standings, and he has only four top 10 finishes this year with zero top fives. He also hasn't won since the 2022 BMW Championship. He'll use this week to try to find his form before the playoffs.

Wyndham Championship Best Bets to Win

Justin Thomas +2800 (BetMGM)

Justin Thomas had a disappointing pair of tournaments across the pond, finishing T50 at the Scottish Open and T65 at the British Open. Before that, Thomas's game was rounding into form, posting six straight top 20 finishes, including a T4 finish at the PGA Championship. His accuracy off the tee and solid ball striking make him a strong fit for Sedgefield Country Club. He has a 12th-place finish here in 2023, so I think he has some solid value to win this week at 28-1.

Alex Fitzpatrick +4500 (Caesars)

Alex Fitzpatrick continues to be undervalued in the betting market. He is second in the field in strokes-gained tee to green over the past three months, and, like Thomas, was red-hot before a bad pair of events in the United Kingdom. His last start on American soil was a T7 finish at the Travelers Championship. He's accurate off the tee and has had some great iron play this season. In a relatively weak field, he's a steal at 45-1.

Emiliano Grillo +9000 (TheScore Bet)

Emiliano Grillo has posted back-to-back strong iron play outings, gaining +1.09 strokes per round with his approach play at the 3M Open and then +1.49 strokes per round with his irons at the Rocket Classic. Those two performances resulted in finishes of T7 and T31. Unfortunately, his lack of length off the tee cost him at those events, but accuracy is favored over distance at Sedgefield Country Club, so if he can keep his iron play consistent this week, his driving accuracy is going to put him in contention on the weekend. He has finished T31 or better in five straight starts.
