Wyndham Championship Score Predictions (How Will Top Players Fare at Sedgefield Country Club?)

The PGA Tour is gearing up for their regular season finale, the Wyndham Championship.

Last year's edition of the event was a memorable one, mainly because there was an almost unheard of six-man playoff to determine the winner. Six different golfers were tied at -15 under par at the conclusion of 72 holes, but it was Kevin Kisner who came out on top.

So, what will the winning score be this year? How will the top golfers on the odds list finish?

Let's dive into my winning score prediction, as well as where some of the top golfers on the odds list will finish. All odds listed below are via WynnBET Sportsbook.

Wyndham Championship Score Predictions

Winning Score: -20

Last year was a bit of an anomaly when it comes to the final score of the event. Previous to 2021, there hadn't been a winning score that wasn't at least -21 since 215, when Davis Love III won it with a final score of -17.

From 2016-2017, it alternated between being 21-under par and 22-under par. As long as we don't see any unexpected weather, I think it'll reach -20 and stay at that number.

Sungjae Im Score Prediction: -17

Money has come in on Sungjae Im throughout the week, and now he's the betting favorite at WynnBET to win the event.

There's a lot of things to like about him this week. He already has two top 10 finishes at this event, and he's coming off a T2 at the 3M Open. He's an accurate driver who has a strong short game.

My main concern with him is that he's good with his short and long irons, but struggled at time with his mid irons, ranking 119th in approach proximity from 150-175 yards out. That will hurt him enough to keep him out of the winners circle this week.

Shane Lowry Score Prediction: -18

I can pretty much copy and past what I said about Sungjae Im to what I'm going to say about Shane Lowry. Rightfully one of the betting favorites this week, but with so many approach shots from 150-175 yards this week (22.7% to be exact), his 87th ranking from that distance could hurt him in the long run.

Regardless, I'd be shocked if he's not at least in contention on Sunday.

Will Zalatoris Score Prediction: -11

I said it last week, and I'll say it again. Short courses are not where you want to back Will Zalatoris, they don't fit his style of play.

The longer and tougher the course is, the more he shines. Short courses that are tricky around and on the greens, aren't his cup of tea. Of course, he's talented enough that I'm sure he'll make the cut, but I don't expect him to be in contention on Sunday.

Bill Horschel Score Prediction: -14

Billy Horschel has historically done very well at Sedgefield. He has four top 11 finishes in his last five starts here, including a 2nd place finish in 2020.

All he does is hit fairways and greens, what's not to like about him at Sedgefield? Well, for one thing, he ranks 25th in greens in regulation but 125th in strokes gained: approach. That tells me he's hitting greens, but not anywhere close enough to sink enough birdies to win unless his putter is on fire.

Webb Simpson Score Prediction: -19

Webb Simpson loves this tournament so much that he named his daughter after it.

He has competed in this event 13 times, and he's finished 11th or better in 10 of them. That's an insane level of consistency. With all of that being said, he only has one win here. He usually finished one or two strokes off the lead, which is what I expect from him again this week.

He'll finish one stroke back from my predicted winner, Christiaan Bezhuidenhout.
