PGA DFS Preview: 2024 Wyndham Championship

Course Overview

  • Sedgefield Country Club
  • Greensboro, N.C.
  • Par 70
  • 7,131 Yards
  • Bermuda Fairways
  • Bermuda Greens

Sedgefield Country Club is known for its scoring-friendly conditions, making it a favorite among PGA Tour players looking to rack up birdies. The key to success at Sedgefield lies in making birdies in bunches and mixing in an eagle or two. Eight of the par-4s measure between 400-450 yards, and the par-5s are reachable in two for many players. Expect most approach shots to come from 100-175 yards, making wedge play crucial this week.

Rain is projected on most days, with a higher likelihood of rain all day Thursday. Wind conditions are expected to be mild, topping out around 8-10 mph. The temperature will remain in the 80s, accompanied by high humidity. These conditions could soften the course, making it even more receptive to aggressive play.

Past winners of the Wyndham Championship feature Lucas Glover (2023), Tom Kim (2022) and Kevin Kisner (2021). The past few years have shown that a score around -20 is necessary to win, emphasizing the need for consistent birdie-making ability. This year’s projected winning score is -22, with a projected cut of -2.

Stats to Build Around

  • Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green
  • Approach from 100-175 Yards
  • Fairways in Regulation
  • Opportunities Gained
  • Par 4 Scoring (400-450 Yards)
  • Strokes Gained Par-5
  • Birdie-or-Better Rate
  • Strokes Gained Putting on Bermuda

PGA DFS Strategy

Given that Sedgefield is a wedge and birdie fest, distance off the tee is not as critical here. Focus on accurate ball strikers who can pile up birdies and have a solid putting game, especially on Bermuda greens. Players who can consistently hit fairways and excel in approach shots from 100-175 yards will have a distinct advantage.
