After a fun week up in Minnesota, we head back south to Greensboro, North Carolina for the 2025 Wyndham Championship. Aaron Rai returns as the defending champion, and we’re in for a treat here. At the historic Sedgefield Country Club we can expect ball-striking, and putting to reign supreme. Will Rai defend, or will we get yet another new unique winner this week?

Let’s dive in!

 

Wyndham Championship 2025: Daily Fantasy Golf Picks & Projections

Founded back in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open, this event has been a mainstay on the PGA tour for quite some time. This has been quite a historic event for the tour, most notably due to Sam Snead. When Snead won this event in 1965, he set the record as the older winner of a tournament on the PGA Tour, and this was his 8th win of the event, both of which are records that still stand to this day. It's an extremely important event for players as well, as this is the last chance to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.

 

Sedgefield Country Club: Course Breakdown This Week

Located in Greensboro, North Carolina, Sedgefield Country Club has been the host of the Wyndham Championship since 2008 after previously being an alternate host from 1938 to 1976. Playing at a Par 70 measuring 7,131 yards, we’re looking at a much shorter course than we’ve seen of late. A Donald Ross design, we see many of the calling cards of most Ross courses with an emphasis on putting being a key historic indicator of success here. 

Looking at the 12 par 4s, which measure between 374 and 507 yards, it’s clear that these short par 4s are going to be some of the most important scoring holes on the week. The 2 par 5s measure at just 529 and 545 yards respectively, showing the lack of distance as a defense at this venue. Lastly, the 4 par 3s play between 175 and 225 yards, giving us a clear bucket to focus on for those tee shots. With Bermuda grass throughout, not only do we have an emphasis on putting, but putting on Bermuda greens specifically will be the key putting stat of focus.

I say this next part without any hyperbole whatsoever: Sedgefield Country Club is the easiest course on tour to gain strokes on approach. That said, because it’s so easy for the field, the elite ball-strikers stand out and tend to be the ones near the top of the leaderboard. Past the aforementioned putting on bermuda focus, we also need to look at three putt avoidance as that is where many tend to lose strokes here. 

Given the overall stats of this event, you may think that this event won’t feature much scoring, since we’re focusing so heavily on approach and simple putting stats. If that’s the case, you’d be dead wrong. Often at Sedgefield, the winning score ends up between 15 and 21 under par, showing a clear need to focus on Birdies or Better Gained, as well as Bogey Avoidance as key stats as well. This course is going to play very straightforward, and as a result, our key plays will be as well.

 

Wyndham Championship 2025 Field: Golf DFS

As a non-signature event that falls a week prior to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, it should again be no surprise that we see a softer field this week. Keegan Bradley is the only top 10 player in the field, with Hideki Matsuyama, Robert MacIntyre, and Ben Griffin as the only other players inside the top 25 in the field. As previously mentioned, Aaron Rai is the defending champion, and he is joined in the field by previous champions JT Poston, Lucas Glover, Kevin Kisner, Si Woo Kim, and Webb Simpson. Given the key scoring stats we’re focusing on this week, and the lack of true “top tier” talent this week, we’re going to see some very interesting names come into play this week.

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: Top Tier

Matt Fitzpatrick ($10,600 DraftKings/$12,000 FanDuel)

Fitzpatrick is the most expensive player in the field, and when looking at the overall breakdown of stats we’re going to look at, we can understand why. Not only is he entering this field coming off 4 straight finishes of T17th or better, but he’s been elite of late with ball-striking, strong off the tee, and continues to have elite upside with the flatstick. He debuted here last year and struggled, but course history isn’t overly correlative this week, at least not to a point where I’m worried about Fitzy. I’m going to just ride the great golf he’s been playing. 

Keegan Bradley ($10,300 DraftKings/$11,900 FanDuel)

Keegan leads my model overall and it’s easy to see how we got here. He ranked top 5 in the field in SG:Tee-2-Green, SG:Ballstriking, and Total Proximity. He’s been one of the best overall approach players on the season, having only lost strokes on approach in three of his seventeen starts on the season. His putter has been shaky of late, but he’s putt well on bermuda overall throughout his career and ranks in the top half of the field in this stat in 2025. He’s also been deadly off the tee this year. He’s set up for success, has improved on his finish here every season, and is chasing a chance to be a playing captain in the Ryder Cup. He’s going to be motivated more than ever to play well here.

Ben Griffin ($10,100 DraftKings/$11,800 FanDuel)

Griffin may have struggled as of late, but that doesn’t make me overly concerned given how well he still lines up for this event. Even having struggled in the last two starts, in his last 8 starts overall he’s racked up a win, and 5 other top 14 or better finishes. He’s been great around the green and on approach, and outside of The Open he’s been great off the tee as well. He’s one of the best players in the field at avoiding bogeys, scores better than almost anyone on short par 4s, and overall is just a solid play in a soft field any time he’s one of the available names. 

 

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: MID-TIER

Akshay Bhatia ($9,000 DraftKings/$11,500 FanDuel)

Bhatia is one of only 3 players in the field who have no clear weakness this week, and has remained an elite ball-striker even through some of his recent struggles. The putter bounced back in a big way at the 3M Open this past weekend. Where I start to have some concern on him is just this course as a whole. He’s never made the cut at this event. That said, I’m not sure his game has been this lined up for the field given the overall changes he’s made to his short game and game off the tee. He’s a boom-bust play, but one that I’m really going to hammer this week.

Harry Hall ($9,200 DraftKings/$11,000 FanDuel)

There isn’t much I can write about Harry Hall that I haven’t written previously. He ranks top 10 in the field in SG: Par 4, Bogey Avoidance, Birdies or Better Gained, SG: Putting (Bermuda), and short Par 4 scoring. His main issue has been the driver this year, and even with that he ranks in the top half of the field over his last 10 starts. He’s been just about as consistent as anyone since May started, with top 30 finishes in 8 of his 9 starts during that span. He, much like Bhatia, has never made the cut here, but if he keeps playing the game he’s been playing this year, he should have zero issue this week. 

Luke Clanton ($8,300 DraftKings/$10,600 FanDuel)

After fading Clanton a bit over the last month or so, I’m back on board with his game this week. He’s struggled to avoid bogeys, almost worse than anyone over that span, but the rest of his game gives me hope. He remains elite on Par 4’s, is one of the top 10 in the field in Ballstriking and SG:Tee-2-Green, and birdies or better gained. He encapsulates this entire tier of players perfectly. He’s going to be a boom-bust option this week, but he’s so fun to watch and to have in a lineup when he’s on, that I can’t risk him not being here this week. And I was able to say all of that without even mentioning that he finished 5th here last year.

 

 

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: VALUE TIER

Nico Echavarria ($7,200 DraftKings/$8,500 FanDuel)

Echavarria is one of my favorite plays this week, and might be my favorite to get the win as well. While no specific stat of his truly pops on paper compared to the rest of the field, he’s one of just three in this field that show no true weakness against the course. His weakness of late has been his putter, but I still have hope given his performance at the Rocket Classic. On yet another Donald Ross bermuda grass course, he had the best putting performance since the Houston Open back in March. He’s going to need that flatstick to get hot, but if he does, watch out.  

Bud Cauley ($7,500 DraftKings/$9,100 FanDuel)

Cauley is the final player in the field to show no true weakness against this course. The driver could be better, and he could be better with short irons in his hands, but he’s been one of the best par 4 scorers on tour this year, avoid bogeys like almost no one else in this field, and has been remarkably solid overall. He’s one of my favorites this week, and if he can keep his tee shots in the fairway, he’s going to be a threat to take this title home.

Andrew Putnam ($7,100 DraftKings/$8,400 FanDuel)

Putnam rounds off a tier of players that I probably shouldn’t like as much as I do, but no one can stop me this week. Putnam has sneakily been great of late, even with a few missed cuts and a withdrawal over his last 4 starts. Outside of those 3, he’s not finished outside the top 11 in an event since May, and has been great on and around the green. While he’s not been strong off the tee, that’s more due to distance than accuracy, and accuracy is going to be important this week. He’s avoided bogeys better than anyone in this field of late, and between being accurate, putting well, and great wedge game he’s lined up for yet another strong week.
