    Wyndham Championship DFS picks 2025: Why this week lines up for a former Ryder Cupper

    The PGA Tour heads to Greensboro, N.C., for the final event of the 2025 regular season. The Wyndham Championship has been a staple on the PGA Tour since 1983 when it was founded as the Greater Greensboro Open. It had annually been played in the spring until 2003, when the PGA Tour altered the schedule and moved it to the end of the season. The tournament has been hosted at several courses over the years before a permanent move to the Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield Country Club in 2008. Sedgefield Country Club is an old-school, classic design with large undulating greens and narrow, tree-lined fairways. Despite playing as one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour schedule, Sedgefield stands the test of modern technology and consistently tests pros with its unpredictable Bermuda rough and signature Ross green complexes.

    Opened in 1926, Sedgefield Country Club is a Donald Ross design that has been the longtime host of the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship. The course co-hosted the inaugural Greater Greensboro Open (today’s Wyndham) in 1938, won by Sam Snead. The tournament has been played at several courses over the years, and Sedgefield has hosted it since 2008. In 2007, the course underwent a $3 million restoration project aimed at transforming the layout back to Ross’ original intent. In typical Ross style, the greens are quite busy, with prominent slopes demanding the player stay below the hole.

    This will be players' final opportunity to crack the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings and continue their season next week in Memphis, and some notable names sit right on the bubble. Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley and Jordan Spieth, among others, headline the field at the Wyndham Championship this week, while Aaron Rai will return to defend his title.

    $10,000 range

    Play: Matt Fitzpatrick, $10,600:

    With three top-eight finishes in a row, Matt Fitzpatrick is in some of the best form of his career. The former U.S. Open champion has gained in both ball-striking categories in three straight starts and now travels to a golf course that should further accentuate his driving accuracy and short- to middle-iron play.

    Fade: Ben Griffin, $10,100:

    2220149054

    Patrick Smith

    With only three options available in the $10,000 range this week, Ben Griffin is certainly my least favorite option of the bunch given his back-to-back missed cuts in his latest two starts. The recent Charles Schwab Invitational winner’s ball-striking appears to be headed in the wrong direction, and I have longer-term concerns about Griffin’s driving accuracy.

    $9,000 range

    Play: Aaron Rai, $9,300:

    2225970974

    Warren Little

    Aaron Rai is obviously the defending champion of this event, and he is rolling into the Wyndham off an elite ball-striking performance at the Open Championship where he gained over three strokes in both ball-striking categories. Rai’s accuracy off the tee and elite middle-iron play should pay dividends at Sedgefield for years to come.

    Fade: Harry Hall, $9,200:

    While Harry Hall has been accumulating some solid results of late, he has been getting it done primarily with the flat-stick. Hall has still lost strokes on approach in each of his last two starts, and the Englishman has missed the cut in both of his two appearances at Sedgefield. I’m selling high on Hall in this spot.

    $8,000 range

    Play: Lucas Glover, $8,900:

    2223690524

    David Berding

    Lucas Glover is a former champion at Sedgefield who happens to also be in excellent form. The former U.S. Open champion is coming off a 23rd at the Open Championship where he gained over three strokes on approach, and Glover’s middle-iron play continues to impress.

    Fade: Sungjae Im, $8,000:

    Another week, another Sungjae Im fade. Until there is any semblance of an approach game, Im is an easy pass. The Korean has now lost strokes in every single start, dating back until the beginning of March. While he has some encouraging course history at Sedgefield, there have been many courses over this stretch that Im has performed well at in the past. The results were all disappointment.

    $7,000 range

    Play: Davis Thompson, $7,600:

    2226803158

    David Berding

    This is a great buy-low opportunity on Davis Thompson, who has recorded two top-25 finishes in three appearances at Sedgefield. While 2025 has been a disappointing season for the 26-year-old, Thompson should be more than comfortable in the Southeast, and he has driven the ball excellently at Sedgefield in the past.

    Fade: Cameron Young, $7,900:

    I always have interest in Cameron Young on driver-heavy golf courses that emphasize a power-hitting approach, but Sedgefield does not fall into that category. Young has had an up-and-down season, and following a great U.S. Open, he significantly underperformed at the Open Championship. Young is always a golf-course dependent play for me, and Sedgefield is not the spot.

    Flier: Christiaan Bezuidenhout, $7,200:

    2225978854

    Warren Little

    Coming off a top-20 finish last week at the 3M Open, Christiaan Bezuidenhout is one of my favorite sleeper options this week. Bezuidenhout is one of the most accurate drivers of the ball in this field, and the South African also has a strong resume of success on Bermudagrass greens.

    $6,000 range

    Play: Victor Perez, $6,900:

    2227121080

    David Berding

    Victor Perez has been on my radar for the last couple of months due to his high upside approach play and putting. The Frenchman has now gained over three strokes on approach in back-to-back starts and travels to another short, positional golf course that should suit his balanced attack of fairways and greens.
