Here we are folks, the final event of the 2023 PGA Tour Regular Season. We’ve got the Wyndham Championship on hand this week followed up by the FedEx Cup Playoffs commencing next week. It’s crazy to think we are already here. One last chance for those players on the cusp of the playoffs to keep competing on the highest level in Golf. Needless to say, we have some fascinating golf to finish out the year.
Today, we’re breaking down the final event of the 2023 PGA Tour Regular Season with the 2023 Wyndham Championship Betting Preview: DFS Outlook. Let’s get into it.
Course Breakdown – Sedgefield Country Club
This week’s Wyndham Championship will be played at Sedgefield Country Club which has played host to this event for a number of years. Sedgefield is a Donald Ross-designed course, with slick Bermuda grass greens. You don’t have to be long at Sedgefield, but you must be accurate. This course reminds me a lot of Harbour Town in South Carolina with overhanging trees, being on the right side of the fairway, and weather dependent.
Course conditions and weather will also play a huge factor this weekend. We have North Carolina’s late summer moist and hot temperatures that can sometimes turn into rain making the course much softer. In recent tournaments, when the course was soft, we saw winners finish anywhere from 20 under to 25 under, while the hot summer heat made the course firmer, we saw winners finishing anywhere from 13 to 15 under. Just something important to look at while making your picks and assessing if this week will be a birdie fest. Which I think will come true.
