2026 WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP PICKS

Justin Thomas — Once JT got into the 30s in a field like this, at this style of course, I couldn’t help myself. It’s not dissimilar to what led me down the Xander path a week ago. Thomas loves himself a positional birdiefest, with wins at Sony, Heritage, THE PLAYERS, and Honda. When distance no longer matters, and an event becomes all about wedges, chipping, and a hot putter, that plays directly into JT’s strengths.

Tom Kim — It was surprising to see Tom Kim so far down the betting board at the opening odds. His accuracy is back up, and he has been unchallenged as the top approach player in the field over the past four months. Kim is 0.27 strokes better on approach per round than the second-best player over that same span: Blades Brown. If this is one of the weeks where he can actually make a few 5-footers, he’ll be there Sunday.

Bud Cauley — In theory, this should be an excellent Bud Cauley course. He excels at courses where fairways are at a premium, enters having gained on approach in six of seven starts, and possesses one of the TOUR’s best sets of hands from around the green. His putter will be the swing factor. Much like his history on the greens at Sedgefield, his recent performances show a split personality between elite putting and maybe the worst guy in the field. In two of his past five starts, Cauley has gained +6.27 and +6.68 SG: PUTT. In the other three starts, he’s lost more than 3.22 strokes in each. That about mimics what he’s done on these greens over the years. Twice he’s gained over five strokes putting, evening that out by losing over four in a pair of starts. He lost almost seven in only two rounds a year ago. These are the perfect type of players to target as longshots.

Blades Brown — As mentioned, he’s second in approach over the past four months and has gained on the greens in seven straight PGA TOUR starts. He’s got plus accuracy and a short game to boot. He just needs to get over the Sunday struggles. Maybe seeing fellow youngsters Koivun and Thorbjornsen get over the hump the last two weeks will give him some confidence. Gotta feel like he’s coming in with a ton of confidence just by his decision to play. He’s currently inside the Top 10 in the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, where the Top 20 earn PGA TOUR cards for next year. One more top finish on the Korn Ferry Tour this week essentially locks him into the PGA TOUR for 2027. However, since he has Special Temporary Membership on the PGA TOUR, a victory would give him full status and get him into the FedEx Cup Playoffs next week. I like the gamble. Doesn’t hurt he’s coming in off B2B top 6 finishes on KFT too.

Ben James & Luke Clanton — We’re riding the wave of young winners.

Davis Chatfield — Chatfield had been cruising with the irons and putter until Detroit last week. Ejections are going to happen to players at his level. But now he gets a course tailor-made to his skills. He’s one of the shortest players on TOUR, but hits over 70% of fairways. Just need him to channel his inner Brendon Todd and wedge his way onto the leaderboard. Now, you may be asking, could I pick Chatfield out of a lineup of one? No. I could not.

Brian Campbell — Campbell led the field in strokes gained: approach in Detroit a week ago and could not make a putt. Now he gets a course where distance doesn’t matter; accuracy does. Keep the irons the same, make a few putts, and we’re in business. Extra points go to Campbell if he’s battling a very popular bet down the stretch. He loves ripping the heart out of those.

2026 WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP DRAFTKINGS

The combo of people being over golf season and Wyndham historically being one of the most predictable skill events year-over-year, it’s not surprising to see the chalk consolidate like this. No need to fade all these guys; just try a few unique combos and plug in a few lower-owned guys like Keegan Bradley, Michael Brennan, Brian Harman, Alex Smalley, Bud Cauley, and Chris Kirk to go with them.
