- Cameron Young sits atop the 2026 Wyndham Championship odds board at +850, with Jackson Koivun (+1600) and Hideki Matsuyama (+2000) next after Patrick Cantlay's Monday withdrawal at +2000.
- The Wyndham Championship tees off Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., as the final PGA Tour regular-season event, with the top 70 on the FedEx Cup points list advancing to the playoffs.
- SportsLine's model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, simulated the tournament 10,000 times and has nailed 17 majors entering 2026, including the 2026 Masters (its fifth straight), the 2025 PGA Championship and the 2025 Open Championship.
- The model is fading Jackson Koivun despite his +1600 price as second favorite, projecting he will barely crack the top 10; Koivun won the 3M Open recently but finished T31 at last week's Rocket Classic and has no finish higher than T10 otherwise.
- The model tags Ben Griffin at +2500 as a top-3 contender, citing four top-10 finishes since late April and a Wyndham track record of three top-11 results in four career appearances at Sedgefield.
- Bubble players Mac Meissner and Keegan Bradley are both +5000, with the model also targeting a longshot near +4000 to contend, with full picks only available via SportsLine.
Why it matters: With FedEx Cup Playoff berths on the line for bubble players Meissner, Bradley and Koivun, bettors face a week where must-make stakes collide with Wyndham's small-field dynamics at Sedgefield. The model's contrarian fade of Koivun — the second favorite and a recent winner — plus its endorsement of Griffin's course history at +2500 offers a way to separate from the public board if chalk underperforms.
