The 2026 Wyndham Championship takes place from August 6-9 at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina as the PGA Tour’s regular‑season finale.
The Donald Ross design is a par‑70 parkland layout in Greensboro that has long rewarded precision, streaky putting and disciplined wedge play rather than brute power.
The latest betting market is headed by Cameron Young, Jackson Koivun, Hideki Matsuyama, Ryan Gerard, Ben Griffin and Justin Thomas.
With FedExCup Playoff places on the line and only the top 70 advancing after this event, the Wyndham once again arrives with huge late‑season pressure and opportunity across the field.

Leading 2026 Wyndham Championship Contenders
Cameron Young
Cameron Young heads the market as defending champion and has been installed as favourite to go back-to-back in the Wyndham.
He arrives for the second straight week at the top of the betting board, a reflection of both his current form and how well his scoring profile fits Sedgefield.
Young’s length can still be an asset here, but the bigger appeal is his ability to create birdie chances in bunches when his irons heat up.
If he putts well enough to complement that aggressive approach, he has every chance of successfully defending the title.
Jackson Koivun
Jackson Koivun sits second in the market, underlined just how much respect he now commands heading into a regular PGA Tour stop with major playoff implications.
Koivun’s upside is obvious on a course where confident iron play and a willingness to make birdies can quickly separate a player from the field.
If he stays patient on a layout that punishes sloppy wedges and missed fairways, he has the talent to claim his second win of the season.
Hideki Matsuyama
Hideki Matsuyama brings the strongest pure ball‑striking pedigree of the chasing pack as he bids to return to winning form.
Sedgefield should suit Matsuyama if he is dialled in with the irons, because the course consistently rewards players who control distances and hit a lot of greens.
If the putter behaves for four rounds, he has more than enough class to contend seriously.
Ryan Gerard
Ryan Gerard is one of the more interesting home‑state style storylines in a high‑pressure Wyndham week.
Gerard’s appeal comes from a tidy all‑round game and the possibility that comfort on this type of southeastern parkland setup could translate into a strong week.
He looks a plausible contender if he starts fast and turns the pressure of the regular‑season finale into momentum.
Ben Griffin
Ben Griffin is one of several names in the conversation as a dangerous late‑season option.
His strengths fit Sedgefield well, because this tournament is often won by players who excel with scoring irons and convert a high percentage of birdie looks.
If Griffin stays sharp from tee to green, he has the type of game that can easily outperform this quote.
Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas remains one of the most recognisable names in the field and he is chasing another PGA Tour victory to head into the FedEx Cup playoffs on a high note.
Thomas has the scoring ability to dominate an event like this when the irons are precise and the putter warms up.
If he takes advantage of Sedgefield’s birdie holes while avoiding the careless mistakes that can creep in under playoff pressure, he has the pedigree to be right in the mix on Sunday.
