Wyndham Championship 2025 Picks & Preview
The PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship takes place this week at Sedgefield Country Club. This event marks the end of the regular season, which provides one of the most interesting fields of the year.
With the advent of the FedEx Cup playoffs, which start next week with the top 70 in action, the Wyndham has become the last hurrah for golfers trying to save their season or preserve it with a narrow playoff berth.
It also means anyone who is feeling pretty secure with their game is going to take advantage of a rare week off before a busy entry into fall for Tour golfers.
This combination makes for a field that isn’t top-heavy at all, with none of the top players showing up, but it is actually quite deep, with basically EVERYBODY around the 70th marker opting in to the action.
With nobody sitting this one out, there aren’t many household names, but this is a week for the real PGA Tour nerds to flourish, watching a bunch of very capable midrange guys battle it out for a playoff spot. It’s almost like a play-in tournament for the last few playoff spots.
Course Layout and Factors
The course features one of the oldest designs on Tour, and also one of the most distinct. It’s everything you’d expect from a 100-plus-year-old course. It’s short, narrow, and has small greens.
Even though the course was remodeled and lengthened in 2007, it’s still one of the shortest on Tour at Par 70 and 7,100 yards.
Wyndham Championship Preview: Winners, Trends, & History
Players hit less-than-driver off the tee here nearly 50% of the time, severely hampering the advantage for most of the elite Tour players, and any other ordinary bombers who may be in the mix this time of year.
Furthermore, accuracy is rewarded not just because of narrow tree-lined fairways, but because the Bermuda rough is very prone to fliers, and it is very hard to hold greens at Sedgefield out of the rough.
The greens are sloped very severely in some cases, and when the tour ramps them up to 12+ stimp, some of the pin positions become almost unplayable if you are behind the hole.
All of this to say that Sedgefield is basically the ultimate placement-player opportunity on tour, which Aaron Rai won in very fitting fashion last year, as the course plays directly to his strengths.
Wyndham Championship 2025 Picks
Let’s find a few picks who fit the bill this week.
- Aaron Rai
Rai doesn’t seem to be getting enough credit coming into this year’s edition. Arguably playing better golf now than he was last year, he has one of the largest boosts for course fit you will ever see on Datagolf.
While he is rated the 8th-best golfer in the field on a neutral site, the unique tee shot skew at Sedgefield puts him squarely amongst the favorites, if not the favorite to win. While he’s still available at +2800, he definitely has positive expected value. He’s one of my favorite Wyndham Championship 2025 picks.
- Joel Dahmen
The other guy that is worth continued riding here is Dahmen, who is still interestingly flourishing with the weight of Geno Bonnelli off his shoulders, and he comes up on yet another course that rewards driving accurately and accurate short iron play.
While putting is important here, as the winner usually ends up in the -20s, it is a place that is kind of difficult for everyone to putt. Joel putted very well in both of the last two tournaments, making a run at a top 5 before fading last week.
Once again, the best line/angle here is a top 5 from Dahmen, if you can still find +4000 or better.
