The 2024 Wyndham Championship is placed between the Olympics and the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, but Sedgefield Country Club has still attracted a strong field for the final event of the PGA regular season beginning Thursday. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is not in the 2024 Wyndham Championship field after winning the gold medal at the Olympics, leaving Sungjae Im as the 16-1 favorite in the 2024 Wyndham Championship odds. There are 21 golfers from the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking teeing it up in North Carolina, including Im and Jordan Spieth (30-1). Defending champion Lucas Glover is trying to rediscover his form from the end of last season, but he is 100-1 on the PGA odds board.
Si Woo Kim (25-1), Billy Horschel (25-1) and Shane Lowry (25-1) are among the other 2024 Wyndham Championship contenders. This is considered one of the easiest venues on the PGA Tour, so which golfers should you target with your 2024 Wyndham Championship bets? Before locking in your 2024 Wyndham Championship picks or PGA props, 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 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
One surprise: Spieth, a three-time major champion, does not finish inside the top 10 this week. He has seen his world ranking dip to No. 37, and he is No. 63 in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the final tournament of the regular season. Spieth could wind up needing sponsor invites to play in certain tournaments next year if he does not jump inside the top 50 and qualify for the second leg of the playoffs.
There are no signs pointing toward a strong week from Spieth, who has not finished better than T25 since a T10 at the Valero Texas Open in early April. He only has three top-10 finishes in 20 events overall this season, missing the cut six times. Spieth ranks outside the top 90 on the PGA Tour in scoring average, scrambling and shots gained approaching the green.
The model has also examined where Im finishes. Im is the highest-ranked player in the field this week, sitting ninth in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the final week of the regular season. The South Korea native has three top-10 finishes in five previous Wyndham Championship appearances, including a tie for second place in 2022.
However, the two-time PGA Tour winner has not won a tournament in nearly three years, with his best finishes this season being a tie for third at the Travelers Championship and a tie for fourth at the Wells Fargo Championship. He finished T7 in the Open Championship in his latest start, giving him eight top-12 finishes in his last 10 tournaments. Im will be eyeing his third PGA Tour victory this week, but he will need to get past a plethora of other capable golfers in the field.
