Previous Champions
Top Pick: Cameron Davis
I think Australian Cameron Davis has maximum motivation to do well and even win the Wyndham Championship. Firstly, let’s look at the motivation for the twenty-eight-year-old this week in North Carolina. On the FedEx Cup standings, Davis stands at 69 with the top 70 making the play-offs next week.
Secondly, he arrives at the Sedgefield Country Club in strong form, having finished fast at the 3M Open for a top-10 finish.
Thirdly, he has played twice here before and, on both occasions, he handled the unique strategic demands of the track creditably, finishing in the top 22.
The clincher for picking Davis this week, is his ability to rise to the occasion over the past year, with his best finishes being in the highest quality events, with:
- 6th at the Players Championship
- 7th at the elevated Heritage Classic
- 4th at the PGA Championship
Interestingly, the PGA Championship was played at the Oak Hill Country Club designed by Donald Ross, this week’s designer at whose tracks Cameron Davis always excels.
To conclude here at BMR our top golf bet this week is Cameron Davis, who has it all to play at the Wyndham Championship.

Leading Betting Contenders
Russell Henley (+2200)
Back in 2021, Russell Henley blew a four-shot lead at the Wyndham Championship, but this year could be a good one for redemption given his high level of consistency since being 4th at the Masters in April.
Russell Henley is the most solid looking player at the top of the Wyndham Championship.
Si Woo Kim (+2800)
Si Woo Kim has become an event specialist at the Wyndham Championship since his maiden PGA Tour win in 2016. The South Korean’s form figures at Sedgefield Country Club since then show three top-five finishes, and it was only at the start of June that he was 4th at the Memorial Tournament.
Denny McCarthy (+3300)
It’s been another impressive campaign from Denny McCarthy, who will consider himself unlucky to not have broken his maiden tag at the Memorial Tournament, where he lost a sudden-death play-off to Viktor Hovland. Strongly respected!
J.T. Poston (+3300)
The 2019 winner, J.T. Poston, arrives in Greenboro in career-best form after a runner-up finish at the 3M Open, and if there is any petrol left in the tank after many close misses recently, the “Postman” is to be considered capable of delivering a red-letter day.
Sleepers
Webb Simpson (+5500)
Webb Simpson was the 2011 champion here and the rest of his form at the course reads more impressively than any other golfer with eight top 11s since.
Apart from 7th at the Valspar, it’s been a season to forget for the former US Open champion who is always worthy of consideration as a sleeper at the Sedgefield Country Club.
Brandt Snedeker (+15000)
Two-time Wyndham champion, Brandt Snedeker is another sleeper with an impressive plethora of form here, except unlike Simpson, there has been more recent encouragement that a big performance is not far away.
Snedeker is recovering from serious surgery to his sternum, so last week’s first round lead at the 3M Open was eye-catching and a huge step forward for the Nashville man.
