Russell Henley will try to earn his fifth career PGA Tour victory when he tees off in the 2023 Wyndham Championship beginning Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. The 34-year-old last won in November, winning the World Wide Technology Championship, which ended a six-year winless drought on the PGA Tour. This week he returns to Sedgefield, where he has a history of success. He has finished ninth, seventh and fifth the last three years. Henley is going off at 22-1 in the latest 2023 Wyndham Championship odds, trailing only Sam Burns (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (18-1) and favorite Sungjae Im (16-1).
Adam Scott and Shane Lowry join Henley at 22-1. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings after the Wyndham Championship 2023 advance to the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which begin next week. Before locking in your 2023 Wyndham Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure’s best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2023 Wyndham Championship field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2023 Wyndham Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Wyndham Championship 2023: Im, a two-time PGA Tour winner and the top favorite at 16-1, stumbles and barely cracks the top 10. Im is the No. 27 player in the Official World Golf Ranking entering the week and he’s 36th in the FedEx Cup standings, so he’s looking to pick up some extra points this week to start making progress towards the top 30 and the Tour Championship at East Lake in three weeks.
However, he’s coming off a missed cut last week at the 3M Open and hasn’t finished better than T-20 in his last nine starts, missing the cut a total of four times during that span. Im was a runner-up at the Wyndham last year but the FedEx Cup field shrinking from 125 to 70 means he’ll face a much tougher field this time around, which is another reason why the model is fading the 25-year-old South Korean.
Another surprise: Stephan Jaeger, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. The 34-year-old has six career Korn Ferry Tour wins and he’s beginning to make his mark on the PGA Tour. He’s made the cut in 24 of 27 events with seven top-25 performances to show for it this season.
He’s currently 64th in the FedEx Cup Playoff rankings, meaning he’ll be safely in the top 70 if he plays well this week. He’s shot higher than 70 just four times in his past four events, a span that included a T-9 finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and a T-13 at the John Deere Classic. McClure’s model has him finishing inside the top 20 in 33.9% of simulations and winning it 2.4% of the time — making him an intriguing value for 2023 Wyndham Championship bets.
