Griffin Poised to Prevail at the 2026 Wyndham Championship

The 2026 Wyndham Championship heads to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro as the PGA Tour’s final regular-season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The Donald Ross layout, known for tight fairways, Bermuda greens, and a high birdie potential, rewards accuracy and short-iron prowess, with a expected winning score around -20. While favorites include Cameron Young, Cantlay, and Thomas, the article’s model leans Ben Griffin—a Carolina native with strong comp-course history and recent form—as the likely champion, aided by his fit on Bermuda greens and proven performance on similar courses; Webb Simpson also carries strong course-history value, making this a pivotal week for Playoff positioning.
