Look (and them) to cash at Wyndham

The PGA Tour provides the last opportunity for players to clinch their spots into the top 125 in FedEx Cup standings to make the playoffs and lock up playing privileges for the 2021-22 season at this weekend’s Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C.

Hideki Matsuyama and Webb Simpson are the 12/1 co-favorites, with Louis Oosthuizen next at 14/1. Here are some longer shots with a chance to win at Sedgefield Country Club:

Sungjae Im (30/1): Now that the Olympics are behind him, Im can focus on his usual busy PGA Tour schedule again. He has finishes of sixth and ninth the past two years at Sedgefield. While he was way off on the greens last week (-4.6 SG: Putting), he is back on the preferred Bermuda this week.

Russell Henley (33/1): Rates third on the PGA Tour this season for SG: Approach and is eight-best in this field over the last 24 rounds. Henley has made three of four cuts at Sedgefield, with a best of ninth last year. Henley also has been in good form, with recent finishes of 13-19-11.

Charl Schwartzel (50/1): Should come to Greensboro refreshed from three weeks off after posting his best finish of 2021 last time at the 3M Open, with a T-2. While not a regular participant at the Wyndham, Schwartzel has gone third and 14th in his last two appearances at Sedgefield. The South African ranks seventh in this field in Strokes Gained: Putting on fast Bermuda grass greens in his past 24 rounds.

Jhonattan Vegas (50/1): Has three runner-up finishes this year, including two in his last five starts (Palmetto, 3M Open) plus four top 20s (including T-16 at the Olympics) in his last five starts. Not much course success, but his recent

form should outweigh the course history. Vegas rates 12th in this week’s field for SG: Approach and fourth for Birdie or Better: Gained over the last 24 rounds.

Rickie Fowler (50/1): Currently sits at No. 130 in the FedEx Cup standings and needs a good week to climb back into the top 125, or he will have to rely on the lifetime PGA Tour money list exemption to maintain his full playing privileges. The putter has started to fire again though for Fowler of late as he rates 15th in this week’s field for SG: Short Game.

Brendon Todd (66/1): He has had a down season and likely just kind of hangs on inside the top 125. Todd, however, has posted his best season performances tee-to-green in two of his last three PGA Tour starts.

Patton Kizzire (80/1): After back-toback T-3 finishes at the Colonial and Byron Nelson in May, Kizzire hit a dry spell missing three straight cuts. He has, however, made three in a row since. This is the type of event in which a birdiemaker like Kizzire should thrive. In his past 24 rounds, he ranks first in the field in Birdies or Better: Gained. He is a specialist on the Bermuda grass and ranks third in the field for SG: Putting on Bermuda (fast) greens.

Chez Reavie (80/1): Despite having just one top 10 finish this season, Reavie has made seven of his last eight cuts. He has gained strokes both on Approach and Tee-To-Green in each of his last seven starts. He currently rates 114th in the FedEx Cup standings, so he is likely safe to make the playoffs, but this looks like a spot for him to move up toward the top 70 and make the second playoff event, the BMW Championship.
