Wyndham Championship odds for the 2022 season finale from Sedgefield Country Club. We have expert picks, predictions, and best bets from PGA Tour expert Diane Knox Balas. The top 125 players in the season-long standings will make it to the first three playoff events and lock up their full playing privileges for the 2022/23 season. Therefore, for players just outside the 125, getting in with good play this week is imperative.
Wyndham Championship Odds
Sung-Jae Im is at the top of the odds board this week, and for a good reason. He comes into this week third in strokes gained tee-to-green over his last 24 rounds and has excellent course history. Will this finally be the week Will Zalatoris gets into the winner’s circle? He’s been a popular player on tour this season and leads the way in terms of total bets and dollars, according to BetMGM data. Shane Lowry hasn’t been seen since his T-21 at the Open Championship. The Irishman must be desperate for a 2022 victory, having played consistently well without lifting any silverware. Sedgefield is a great fit.
A lot of the big names are skipping this week to prepare for the playoffs, but the highlight names competing are Horschel, Will Zalatoris, Sungjae Im, and Shane Lowry. Names of note “on the bubble” of the 125 are Rickie Fowler (123), Austin Smotherman (125), and Cameron Champ (130).
Wyndham Championship Key Stats
When looking at the statistics profile of previous winners, the first thing I will be looking at this week is the strokes gained approach (as it is most weeks). Next on the list is efficiency on 400-450 yard par 4s, eight of par 4s measure between 400-450 yards this week. Proximity to the hole 150-175 yards is next on the agenda, with players facing 27.4% of shots from this distance which is well above tour average. 3-putt avoidance has also been a critical stat for previous winners here. I will also be sprinkling in a bit of driving accuracy, fairways gained, and GIR %.
