Cameron Young Favored at Wyndham Championship With Playoff Bubble Focused on Sedgefield

The final regular-season event will decide which players finish inside the top 70 and qualify for next week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Overview

  • The Wyndham Championship field was finalized Wednesday, with defending champion Cameron Young entered to defend and listed as the week’s betting favorite.
  • Rookie Jackson Koivun holds the No. 70 spot entering the week after his recent 3M Open victory, making him the current ‘last man in’ on the FedExCup bubble.
  • Several established players are outside the top 70 and need very high finishes at Sedgefield to advance, including Brooks Koepka, Keegan Bradley, Jason Day and Tony Finau.
  • Sportsbooks and simulation models strongly favor Young but disagree on other contenders, with some models downplaying Koivun’s chances despite his short odds.
  • The winner at Sedgefield earns 500 FedExCup points, a swing large enough to reshape the playoff field, and a Young repeat would be the first Wyndham back-to-back since 1956.
