The 2023 Wyndham Championship tees off Thursday, Aug. 3, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.. This is the final event of the 2022-23 PGA Tour regular season and only the top 75 players in the FedEx Cup standings will qualify for the 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs beginning next week in Memphis. That means the 2023 Wyndham Championship field will be loaded with players hungry to earn a postseason spot or firm up their position.
Sungjae Im is the 16-1 favorite in the 2023 Wyndham Championship odds while Hideki Matsuyama is listed just behind him at 18-1. Justin Thomas is 28-1 in this week’s PGA Tour odds and currently sits 79th in the standings, so the 15-time PGA Tour winner will need a strong showing at Sedgefield. 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: Keith Mitchell, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 31-year-old University of Georgia product is coming off his fifth top 10 of the season last week, shooting 16-under to finish tied for fifth at the 3M Open.
That strong showing moved Mitchell up to 57th in the FedEx Cup standings and 59th in the OWGR and there’s plenty of incentive to keep pushing forward. Mitchell is one of the best drivers of the ball on the PGA Tour, ranking fifth in strokes gained: off-the-tee (.827) and second in total driving. That should be a useful tool around Sedgefield Country Club, where he’s made the cut three of the four times he’s played this event. See who else to pick here.
