🚩 Course breakdown: Sedgefield Country Club
Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a 7,127-yard Donald Ross design that plays as a Par 70 with just two Par 5s.
The course went through extensive restorations in 2007, focusing more on accuracy as opposed to distance with strategic bunkering, narrow tree-lined fairways, and undulating Bermuda greens that require precise approach shots.

The winning score has reached the 20-under mark in eight of the last 10 editions, but has yet to go past -22 here at Sedgefield. Of those 10 tournaments, the winner has won by 3+ shots four times, including Cam Young winning by six in 2025.
-
Narrow fairways will reward accurate drivers
-
Wedge play and short-iron precision are critical to generating scoring chances
🔢 Key stats & player profiles to target
Sedgefield rewards accuracy as opposed to distance off the tee and is less of a bomb-and-gauge test than we see at other PGA Tour stops, and with the course not being very long, hitting fairways will provide golden opportunities to attack flags and generate scoring chances.
Focusing on those second shots, prioritize strokes gained approach as you normally would, but also look at proximity to the hole and greens-in-regulation stats in ranges below 150 yards.

We’re also eyeing up Par-4 scoring average. With only two Par 5s, Sedgefield has 12 Par 4s up for grabs, two more than usual.
-
Proximity to the hole: 100-125 yards
Players to watch:
-
Cameron Young: An elite ball-striker, Young ranks second in Par-4 scoring, 10th in strokes gained off the tee, and 10th in proximity.
-
Jackson Koivun: Led the field in strokes gained approach during his 3M Open win and was third from tee to green
💰 Outright Wyndham Championship picks: winners to bet
Pick 1: Cameron Young (9%)
Young showed his ceiling here a year ago, running away from the field with rounds of 63, 62, 65, and 68.
-
Course fit: Won the 2025 edition by six shots; led the field in putting and was third from tee to green
-
Recent form: Leads field in total strokes gained over the last month
-
Key stat: Second on Tour in Par-4 scoring
Risk: Finished T26 or worse in four straight starts before his Open Championship runner-up
Pick 2: Tim Kim (2.6%)
Kim is just three weeks removed from his win at the Scottish Open, and he leads the field over the last month in strokes gained approach.
