August 3, 2026

2026 Wyndham Championship betting and fantasy golf preview with key stats, Sedgefield Country Club course breakdown, field analysis, and TV times for this week’s PGA Tour event.

The PGA TOUR heads to Greensboro, North Carolina, this week for the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. The tournament features a 144-player field as players battle in the final event of the regular season before the FedExCup Playoffs begin next week.

With only the top 70 players in the FedExCup standings advancing to next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, every point is crucial. Several notable players enter the week on the playoff bubble, including Mac Meissner (No. 71), Keegan Bradley (No. 72), Andrew Putnam (No. 73), and Johnny Keefer (No. 74). Jackson Koivun, who recently turned professional and earned his first PGA TOUR victory at the 3M Open, currently occupies the final playoff spot at No. 70.

Wyndham Championship - Course/ Tournament History

The Wyndham Championship is one of the PGA TOUR's most historic events, tracing its roots back to 1938 when it debuted as the Greater Greensboro Open. As the seventh-longest running tournament on the PGA TOUR schedule, it has welcomed many of the game's greatest players, including Sam Snead, who still holds the tournament record with eight victories.

During its early years, the event was contested between Sedgefield Country Club and Starmount Forest Country Club, with players competing two rounds at each course from 1938 through 1942 before the tournament was suspended during World War II. When play resumed in 1945, the championship alternated annually between the two venues until Starmount became the exclusive host from 1952 through 1960.

Following the 1960 tournament, the event permanently returned to Sedgefield Country Club before moving to Forest Oaks Country Club in 1977, where it remained for the next 31 years. In 2008, after an extensive restoration of Sedgefield Country Club, the Wyndham Championship returned to its historic home, where it has been played ever since.

Today, the Wyndham Championship serves as the final event of the PGA TOUR regular season, making it one of the most important weeks on the calendar. Players on the FedExCup bubble have one last opportunity to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, while others are fighting to secure PGA TOUR cards, improve playoff positioning, or earn exemptions for the following season.

Sedgefield Country Club was originally designed by the legendary Donald Ross and opened for play in 1926. Like many of Ross's greatest designs, the course emphasizes strategy over power, rewarding players who consistently position the ball in the correct areas of the fairway and attack pins with precise iron play.

Ahead of the Wyndham Championship's return in 2008, renowned Donald Ross specialist Kris Spence oversaw a comprehensive restoration of the course. The project restored many of Ross's original design elements by rebuilding greens to their intended shapes and elevations, expanding putting surfaces, repositioning bunkers, and removing years of overgrown vegetation that had altered the course's strategic character.

Although modern equipment has significantly increased driving distance since Ross's era, Sedgefield has maintained its identity as one of the PGA TOUR's premier positional golf courses. Narrow, tree-lined fairways, classic Ross green complexes, and demanding Bermuda putting surfaces continue to place a premium on accuracy, elite approach play, and a strong short game rather than raw power.

Since returning to Sedgefield, the Wyndham Championship has consistently produced exciting finishes and breakthrough victories while remaining one of the TOUR's premier birdie-fests. With FedExCup Playoff berths and career-changing opportunities on the line every August, the tournament has become one of the most dramatic stops of the PGA TOUR season.

Wyndham Championship - Course Guide/ Scorecard

Sedgefield Country Club, originally designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, is a Par 70 measuring 7,131 yards. The layout features four Par 3s, twelve Par 4s, and two Par 5s, rewarding precision over power. While the course offers plenty of birdie opportunities, players must navigate tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and Ross's signature crowned, undulating greens to contend at the Wyndham Championship.

At 7,131 yards, Sedgefield ranks as the 19th shortest course on the PGA TOUR schedule this season. The fairways average just 29 yards in width, making them the ninth narrowest on TOUR and placing a premium on accuracy off the tee. The greens are also slightly smaller than the TOUR average, measuring approximately 6,000 square feet, which puts added emphasis on precise approach play. With only 52 bunkers, the seventh fewest of any PGA TOUR venue, players are challenged more by positioning and shot-making than by an abundance of hazards.

Wyndham Championship - Notable Par 3s

The four Par 3s at Sedgefield Country Club range from 174 to 235 yards, placing a premium on precise iron play and smart club selection. Last year's Wyndham Championship showed just how challenging they can be, as only one of the four Par 3s played under par for the week. The 174-yard 3rd hole was the lone exception, while the remaining three all played over par, making them some of the toughest tests on the course.

Hole 3 | Par 3 | 174 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 2.911 (Difficulty Rank - 13)

This mid-length par three hole is generally played into the prevailing wind and contains three of the deepest bunkers on the course, short and right. The large, somewhat subtle green narrows the deeper into the green one plays. Long and left is a very difficult up and down, with the green sloping away from the player.

Hole 7 | Par 3 | 223 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.068 (Difficulty Rank - 5)

On this long par three, the green is guarded on three sides by a deep creek and features a soft punch bowl green with very difficult hole locations in the corners. Par is a great score on this demanding hole.

Hole 12 | Par 3 | 235 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.007 (Difficulty Rank - 8)

Hole 16 | Par 3 | 175 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.076 (Difficulty Rank - 4)

Wyndham Championship - Notable Par 4s

There are twelve Par 4s at Sedgefield Country Club, with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 500 yards. No. 8 is the shortest, listed at 374 yards, with the longest being No. 18, playing 507 yards. In terms of scoring average last season, the toughest par 4 at the Sedgefield Country Club was the 14th hole.

Hole 2 | Par 4 | 442 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.998 (Difficulty Rank - 10)

One of the best holes ever designed by Donald Ross. The tee shot will require a slight fade over the middle of three diagonal cross bunkers to set up the shortest and best line into a green that’s well-protected on the right by a creek. Approach shots should favor the left side of the green, which leans hard right toward the creek.

Hole 13 | Par 4 | 405 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.846 (Difficulty Rank - 14)

The 13th hole is one of the most strategic holes on the course. The left side of the landing area funnels into the left rough, leaving a blind approach over two cross bunkers. The smart play is along the right side, providing an open view and short iron into this highly undulating green.

Hole 17 | Par 4 | 406 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.832 (Difficulty Rank - 15)

One of the most beautiful holes in North Carolina. This deep, saddled fairway meanders up an old creek bed filled in by Ross. A short iron approach into the smallest green on the course is compounded by the difficulty of finding a level lie in the fairway. A natural ampitheatre surrounds the green, making it a great place to view an exciting finish.

Hole 18 | Par 4 | 507 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.192 (Difficulty Rank - 3)

This members’ par five converted to a long par four will be the most difficult on the course. A tee shot to the crest of the downhill-sloping fairway leaves an uphill long iron or fairway metal into this severely undulating hilltop green. The most difficult hole location is atop a large roll in the back right corner of the green. Birdies from this location will be difficult.

Wyndham Championship - Notable Par 5s

There are two Par 5s on the course: No. 5 and No. 15. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2025. Hole No. 5 was the easiest hole on the course last season.

Hole 5 | Par 5 | 529 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.327 (Difficulty Rank - 18)

The first par five of the course is easily reachable in two shots. However, a deep hollow running diagonally across the putting surface will make getting up and down for birdie a challenge. The key to this hole is finding a level lie in the well-undulating fairway. Any shot hit short of this green will roll well back down the fairway.

Hole 15 | Par 5 | 545 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.583 (Difficulty Rank - 17)

The ideal tee shot to this reachable par five is directly at the fairway bunker. The downhill tee shot must avoid the “sheeps” fescue grass to the right and just over the bunker. Deep bunkers surround this undulating green. The far back right corner pin is the most difficult location, especially if going for the green in two.
