Cameron Young returns to Sedgefield Country Club as the betting favorite to win the 2026 Wyndham Championship, seeking to defend his maiden PGA Tour title. The New York native, now ranked No. 3 in the world, has had a successful 2026 campaign with two wins, a runner-up, two third-place finishes, and eight top-10s in 16 starts.
Despite Young's strong performance, the field at Sedgefield is not considered intimidating, as many top players opt out of the tournament due to its placement just before the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Jackson Koivun, at 21 years old, is the only other golfer priced under 20/1, entering the event following his own maiden victory at the 3M Open.
Other notable contenders include Hideki Matsuyama at 20/1, Ryan Gerard at 22/1, and Ben Griffin at 25/1, rounding out the top five on the oddsboard.
The Wyndham Championship is renowned for its history of producing long-shot winners. In recent years, Jim Herman won at 600/1 odds in 2020, Kevin Kisner triumphed at 60/1 in 2021, and Lucas Glover secured victory at 60/1 in 2023. Young himself was 55/1 when he claimed his first PGA Tour win last year.
This year's tournament presents opportunities for golfers at higher odds.
Ben Kohles, at 60/1, is showing strong recent form with six consecutive top-30 finishes, including a T3 at the John Deere Classic. While his course history at Sedgefield includes missed cuts, his current career-best form aligns with the course's preference for precision over power.
Billy Horschel, priced at 115/1, is an experienced player who, despite being past his prime and having a mixed record for making cuts, has delivered strong performances when he does make the weekend, with two top-15 finishes in his last five starts. Horschel has a history of success at Sedgefield, with six finishes of 11th or better in his last eight appearances.
Kristoffer Ventura, available at 125/1, has overcome a difficult start to his 2026 season. After missing 11 of his first 12 cuts, Ventura has recently posted two top-five finishes and three top-15 results in his last four starts, demonstrating a significant rebound in performance.
The Wyndham Championship continues to be a tournament where savvy veterans and golfers finding late-season form can challenge for the title on a course that rewards accuracy.
