- The 2026 Wyndham Championship tees off Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., as the final PGA Tour regular season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with the top 70 on the points list advancing to the postseason.
- Cameron Young leads the FanDuel odds board at +850, followed by Jackson Koivun at +1600 and Hideki Matsuyama at +1800 after Patrick Cantlay's Monday withdrawal from the +2000 spot.
- SportsLine's model, which has nailed 17 majors including the 2026 Masters and last year's PGA Championship and Open Championship, projects Koivun will barely crack the top 10 and labels him a fade candidate despite his second-shortest odds in the field.
- Ben Griffin is the model's top-3 contender pick at +2500, backed by four top-10 finishes since late April and three top-11 results in four previous Wyndham starts, despite missing the cut at last week's Rocket Classic.
- Bubble players Keegan Bradley (+4000), Mac Meissner (+4000), and Koivun are all in the field competing for spots inside the top-70 cutoff, with Meissner and Bradley longer shots to win.
- The model is also targeting a +4000 longshot to contend this week, with that pick and the full projected leaderboard available only on SportsLine.
Why it matters: With FedEx Cup playoff eligibility on the line for bubble players like Koivun, Meissner, and Bradley, the model's contrarian fade on the second-shortest odds in the field and its top-3 endorsement of Griffin at +2500 give sharp bettors a data-driven counter to the public board at the final regular-season event.
