- Cameron Young is the +850 odds-on favorite to win back-to-back Wyndham titles after crushing the 2025 field by six strokes over Mac Meissner at Sedgefield Country Club.
- Jackson Koivun sits exactly 70th in the FedExCup standings, a precarious cutoff Kannon cites as the primary reason to fade the +1800 Auburn product this week.
- Kannon also flagged Koivun's Chapel Hill hometown ties and a putter that 'went south on Koivun in a big way last week in Detroit' as compounding reasons to bet against him.
- Hideki Matsuyama (+2000), Ryan Gerard (+2200), Justin Thomas (+2500) and Ben Griffin (+2700) round out the next tier of contenders behind Young and Koivun.
- Sedgefield Country Club — a par-70, 7,131-yard layout — hosts the final regular-season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs begin next week, making the top-70 cutoff critical.
- Kannon has called eight major winners since 2013 and hit six PGA outright winners last season, including a 110-1 longshot on Harris English, and has locked in a 55-1 longshot Wyndham pick who hasn't finished worse than 29th in his last eight starts.
Why it matters: With FedExCup Playoff spots on the line and a +850 favorite repeating as champion would reshape outright betting markets, Kannon's fade of Koivun specifically targets the 70th-ranked player facing hometown scrutiny and a cold putter — a contrarian angle CBS Sports echoes with its own longshot parlay strategy.
