Wyndham Championship odds preview: Young favored, Koivun second, long-shot contenders highlighted

Cameron Young, the 2025 Wyndham champion and world No. 3, is the betting favorite for the 2026 edition at Sedgefield Country Club, with odds reflecting his strong season of two wins and multiple top-10 finishes. Jackson Koivun, only in his sixth tour start and coming off a victory at the 3M Open, trails as the second-most-favored contender. Because many top players skip the event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the field is considered relatively soft, a factor that has historically allowed long-shot winners like Jim Herman and Kevin Kisner.

The analysis therefore highlights a few undervalued options: 36-year-old Ben Kohles, who has posted six consecutive top-30 finishes; veteran Billy Horschel, who has performed well at Sedgefield in the past; and Norwegian Kristoffer Ventura, who has shown a recent surge in form. These selections aim to identify potential upset winners amid the tournament’s precision-focused layout.
