In fact, the only reason Tom\u2019s odds aren\u2019t shorter is that he won too recently and the market doesn\u2019t think he can win twice in a short span. But, winning begets more winning.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Furthermore, the South Korean is leading this field in total strokes gained (SG) over his last five starts, according to DataGolf.com. During that stretch, he has a third at the U.S. Open, a win at the Genesis Scottish Open and a T20 at the 3M Open in his last tournament.<\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/343\/192\/tom-kim-2026-wyndham-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/686\/384\/tom-kim-2026-wyndham-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672\/378\/tom-kim-2026-wyndham-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1344\/756\/tom-kim-2026-wyndham-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1200\/675\/tom-kim-2026-wyndham-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Tom Kim is presented with one million Wyndham rewards points and a trophy after winning the 2022 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Tom Kim is presented with one million Wyndham rewards points and a trophy after winning the 2022 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.<\/span> <span>(David Jensen\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Kim won the 2022 Wyndham on debut and withdrew last year in his only other visit to Sedgefield. Bermuda greens are his best putting surface over the last 12 months, per <em>Betsperts Golf<\/em>. He is leading this field in SG: Approach over the last 36 rounds and ranks third in Par 4 scoring. When you put all that together, anything above +3000 is a good bet for Kim.<\/p>\n<h2 data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>Sungjae Im<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">It\u2019s been a tough year for Im, especially with the irons, as he ranks 149th in SG: Approach on TOUR this season.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">However, Sungjae has gained strokes on approach in five of his seven career Wyndhams. He\u2019s made the cut in all seven; Im finished T14-or-better in four of his first five appearances at Sedgefield, with a T6 in 2019, T9 in 2020 and T2 in 2022.<\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/343\/192\/2026-wyndam-sungjae-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/686\/384\/2026-wyndam-sungjae-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672\/378\/2026-wyndam-sungjae-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1344\/756\/2026-wyndam-sungjae-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1200\/675\/2026-wyndam-sungjae-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Sungjae Im chips onto the sixth green during the final round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Sungjae Im chips onto the sixth green during the final round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.<\/span> <span>(Allison Lawhon-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">And while Sungjae is having a down year by his standards, he does have several nice finishes, such as T4 at the Valspar Championship, T5 at the Truist Championship, T14 at the British Open and a T15 at the Rocket Classic his last time out.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Finally, Im\u2019s odds at Bookmaker are +3919 at the time of writing, which is important because Bookmaker has a sharp golf betting market.<\/p>\n<h2 data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>Davis Thompson<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">After cashing a top-20 ticket for me by tying for eighth at last week\u2019s Rocket Classic, I\u2019m investing in Thompson again at the Wyndham. He\u2019s improved year over year in his four visits to Sedgefield: Missed cut in 2021, T22 in 2023, T12 in 2024 and T11 last year.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">The Georgia Bulldog has gained strokes around-the-green in his four Wyndhams, and he has struggled chipping this year. Thompson has picked up strokes off-the-tee in his four appearances at Sedgefield and he\u2019s gained strokes in driving accuracy in three straight.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Thompson ranks 123rd in putting on TOUR this season, but he has gained strokes on the greens in the last two Wyndhams. Again, the 27-year-old enters this week with good lead-in form: T7 at the 3M Open two weeks ago and T8 last week.<\/p>\n<h2 data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>Ben Kohles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Kohles is first in my model at Betsperts Golf. He leads this field in driving accuracy over the last 36 rounds, ranks third in SG: Approach and eighth in Par 4 scoring. Over that span, Kohles has a T23 at the U.S. Open, T3 at the John Deere Classic, T15 at the ISCO Championship and ninth at the 3M Open.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">While he has historically been a terrible putter, Kohles has gained strokes on the greens in five of his last six starts, including four straight. If he keeps that up, he\u2019ll be in the mix at Sedgefield this weekend.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_971126\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/sports-cartoons-day\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>OUTKICK SPORTS CARTOON OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Because, again, Kohles is one of the most accurate drivers in golf and dialed in with his irons and putting, approach play and driving are the three most important skills for Sedgefield.<\/p>\n<h2 data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>Blades Brown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">There has been a youth movement on TOUR in the last two weeks. Jackson Koivun, one of the best college golfers ever, and Michael Thorbjornsen, 2024 PGA TOUR University valedictorian, both broke through for their first wins on TOUR at the 3M Open and Rocket Classic in the past two tournaments.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Brown is another name golf fans should get used to. He is just 19 years old and received a special temporary membership June 2. Brown has been tearing it up on the Korn Ferry Tour and has finished T18-or-better in six of his eight starts on the PGA TOUR this year.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_971127\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">He\u2019s gained strokes across the board (driving, irons, chipping and putting) in his last two PGA TOUR starts: T12 at the John Deere Classic and T11 at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Brown narrowly missed a putt to shoot a 59 at <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_971128\" href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/scottie-scheffler-wins-amex-scary-20-pga-tour-wins-blades-brown-week-patrick-reed-free-agent-liv-golf-par-talk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The American Express<\/a> in his first start this year.<\/p>\n<h2 data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>Billy Horschel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">This is another guy with fantastic course history at Sedgefield. Horschel has six T11-or-better finishes in his past seven Wyndham and has gained strokes putting in his last five. <em>Billy Ho<\/em> has missed the cut in four of his last five starts, including last week\u2019s Rocket Classic.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">But Horschel had an eight-tournament streak of gaining strokes on the field with his irons snapped last week, and he\u2019s gained strokes with driving accuracy in six straight, so he was hitting the ball well. Plus, <em>Billy Ho<\/em> has 10 international wins with eight on the PGA TOUR and two on the DP World (European) Tour.<\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/343\/192\/2026-wyndham-horschel-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/686\/384\/2026-wyndham-horschel-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672\/378\/2026-wyndham-horschel-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1344\/756\/2026-wyndham-horschel-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1200\/675\/2026-wyndham-horschel-fox-news-001.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Billy Horschel putts for birdie during the final round of the 2024 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Billy Horschel putts for birdie during the final round of the 2024 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.<\/span> <span>(Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">The bottom line is Horschel\u2019s win equity is much better than his betting odds indicate.
