While Sedgefield Country Club may not be the most thrilling venue in the world of golf, the Windham Championship consistently delivers excitement primarily due to its timing in the season. As the last event of the regular season, it presents a crucial opportunity for players to secure their spots in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Even if a golfer has had a lackluster year, they can still turn things around over four rounds and qualify for the postseason. A prime example is Kurt Kittyama, who despite being outside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings, showcased exceptional ball striking skills to win the 3M Open, propelling himself to 53rd place and well within the playoff cut line of the top 70. Matty Schmeid currently sits precariously at number 70 in the standings, just a point ahead of Bjang Han an at number 69. Both players will face stiff competition from a strong group of contenders eager to claim their playoff spots, including Nikolai Hogard, Keith Mitchell, Chris Kirk, Christian Bazudinhout, and Gary Woodland. Notably, other players like Rasmus Hogard second, Adam Scott 85th, Michael Thorbjornson 87th, Tom Kim 89th, and Max Homa 106th are also in the mix. all capable of breaking into the top 70 with a strong performance at the Windon Championship. For those ranked higher, the pressure may not be as intense, but many players around the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings are eager to enhance their rankings with a solid performance in Greensboro. The top 50 after the first playoff event in Memphis will qualify for the BMW Championship and gain exemptions into all signature events in 2026. This is significant as the increased purses and points in these events can greatly influence a player’s schedule and their ability to maintain a spot in that elite group for the following year. Jordan Speath currently holding the number 50 position will be competing this week to secure a buffer for the upcoming playoff event in Memphis. Bud Collie enjoying a remarkable comeback season is just nine points behind Spath at number 51. As we look towards the top 30, this year is particularly important because the PGA Tour has decided to give all players who qualify for the Tour Championship an equal opportunity to win the FedEx Cup. The previous system, which awarded starting strokes based on season performance, has been eliminated. Now all 30 players in the field will have a fair shot at winning the tour championship and the FedEx Cup by posting the best 72 whole score. Additionally, all 30 players will be exempt from all four majors in 2026. Sunjm currently occupies the number 30 spot, edging out Ryan Fox and Brian Campbell, both of whom have secured two victories on the PGA Tour this season. US RDER Cup captain Keegan Bradley, ranked seventh in the OWGR, is the highest ranked player in the Windham Championship field. He is playing some of the best golf of his career and is likely to be a playing captain if he maintains this form in the coming weeks. Other American players are also looking to make an impression in Greensboro to earn a captain’s pick next month, including Ben Griffin, Andrew Novak, Max Graaserman, Ashai Batia, Cameron Young, Tony Fenau, JT Posen, and Denny McCarthy. The top European players in the field include Robert McIntyre 14th, defending champion Aaron Ry 35th, Matt Fitzpatrick, 40th, and Thomas Detri 41st. As we approach Greensboro at this time of year, we can expect to encounter scattered thunderstorms almost daily. Fortunately, after a scorching start to the week, temperatures are expected to drop by Sunday with highs only reaching the upper 70s. Sustained winds will likely average between 8 to 12 mph during most tournament rounds with gusts potentially exceeding 20 mph as cooler air moves in for the weekend. The course will typically play soft and controlling spin on approach shots will be one of the players biggest challenges. Scoring has been remarkably consistent over the past 17 years at Sedgefield with winning scores ranging from 15 to 22 underpar. It would be surprising if this year’s winning score didn’t fall within that range as well. Recent champions 2024 Aaron Ry -18 2023 Lucas Glover minus 20 2022 Tom Kim minus 20 2021 Kevin Kisner -15 2020 A Jim Hermanus 21 2019 JT Poston -22 Brandt Sneder -21 Henrik Stenson -22 Sew Kim -21 Davis Love III -17 Key stats for success SG approach GIR percentage SG off the tea driving accuracy SG putting putts per GIR proximity from 125 to 150 yards 150 to 175 yards champions profile Sedgefield Country Club designed by Donald Ross is a classic course that demands accuracy off the tea and precision on its undulating greens. It is one of the courses most closely associated with driving accuracy. A glance at the recent champions reveals that many are known for their ability to find fairways. Players can often avoid using drivers if they choose, as many shots will come from the 125 to 175 yd range into greens that appear smaller than average due to their undulation. Depending on the whole location, players can utilize slopes to get the ball close to the pin, but they must also steer clear of panel runoff areas that can lead to challenging shots from tight Bermuda grass. Sedgefield is a true test of fairways and greens on the PGA Tour, and those who excel in these areas typically find themselves at the top of the leaderboard by the end of the week. This par 70 course features only two par five holes, both of which are reachable for every player in the field. Much of the differentiation among players seems to arise from the par three holes at Sedgefield, which are among the more challenging on the course and require well struck shots to land in birdie range. While the Greens are receptive, they are also among the smoothest on the PGA Tour. The Bermuda Greens at Sedgefield are a favorite among tour professionals. A well- struck putt will not deviate off its line. Over the years, we have seen many skilled putters excel on this course, and DFS players should pay attention to those who have been performing well on the greens recently. # FanDuel value selections, the favorites. Matt Fitzpatrick, $12,000. Fitzpatrick has been in outstanding form over the past couple of months after a slow start to the year. He comes into this tournament with finishes of T17, T8, T4, and T4 in his last four outings. His putting has returned to form, and his short game remains reliable. Notably, Fitzpatrick has gained strokes on approach in nine of his last 10 tournaments and off the tea in his last five. He has only played at Sedgefield once before back in 2018, where he was among the top players for the week in SG putting. Ben Griffin, $11,800. I hope that Griffin’s missed cuts in the last two tournaments will lower his ownership percentage because he is an excellent fit for Sedgefield. He had a poor putting week at the John Deere and missed the cut by one shot at the Open in his first appearance. Before that, he had finishes of T8, first, second, T10, T14, and T13. Griffin ranks in the top 50 in every strokes gain category this season and has achieved two top seven finishes in this event over the last 3 years. Harry Hall $11,000. I have frequently mentioned Hall in this column over the past couple of months and it seems he is consistently undervalued. While he may not be the perfect fit for Sedgefield, his results speak for themselves. He has finished T28 or better in his last eight starts and has not missed a cut since the players. Hall ranks ninth on tour in SG total, seventh in adjusted scoring average, and first in birdie average this season. He also ranks 11th in par three scoring and second in par4 scoring. The mid-range Lucas Glover $10,500. Glover’s consistent ball striking makes him a strong candidate for this course. He ranks 10th in driving accuracy this season, 21st in SG approach, and leads the PGA Tour in proximity from 125 to 150 yards. He is also fourth in par three scoring. Glover has had an up and down season in 2025, but he is currently on a hot streak with finishes of T9, T5, and T-23 in his last three events. The veteran won at Sedgefield in 2023 and is very familiar with Bermuda grass. Nikolai Hogard, $9,900. Hojgurd is currently playing solid golf with finishes of T-24, T4, and T14 in his last three tournaments. His ball striking is impressive, ranking 13th in SG approach, and sixth in GIR percentage. He also ranks 27th in SG putting, ninth in birdie average, and sixth in par three scoring this season. Hojgurd is on the playoff bubble and will be giving it his all. Although he lacks experience at many PGA Tour venues, this will be his third trip to Greensboro where he previously finished in the top 15 in 2023. Rico Hoey, $8,900. One could argue that no one in this field hits the ball better than Hoey. He ranks second in SG off the tea, first in total driving, 13th in driving accuracy, 28th in SG approach, first in GIR percentage, and 13th in proximity this season. While putting remains a challenge for him, he gained over 3.3 strokes on the Greens last year at Sedgefield, leading to a solid top 25 finish. Hoey is aiming for his third top 15 finish in his last five starts this week. The long shots Christian Bazudinhout $8,600. Bazudenhout secured another top 20 finish last week at the 3M Open, marking his fourth such finish in his last eight starts. The South African has been one of the most accurate drivers on tour in recent years, ranking in the top 30 for both SG around the green and SG putting with significant improvement in his approach game since May. It’s no surprise that Bezenhout has never missed a cut in four starts at Sedgefield. Given his suitability for this course, Kevin Roy, $8,500. I was surprised to see Roy priced this low. He has made the cut in eight of his last nine starts with two top 10s and four top 20s during that stretch. He has a well-rounded game, ranking sixth in total driving, 29th in GIR percentage, 15th in proximity, 39th in scrambling, and 46th in putts per GIR this season. Roy is also second in par4 scoring. Currently sitting 76th in the FedEx Cup standings, he has the potential to make the playoffs with a strong finish here. David Lipsky, $7,700. Lipsky is performing better than many players priced above him. He recently finished T3 at the 3M Open following another T3 at the John Deere Classic. Lipsky has been very accurate off the tea lately and has gained strokes on approach in his last five measured starts. He ranks seventh on the season for proximity from 125 to 150 yards, making him a great fit for the upcoming challenge at Sedgefield. Strategy recommendations for this week. Salary cap considerations. This time of year can feel a bit peculiar. Severy players in this field may be feeling the pressure from recent travel, while others are just beginning to find their best form after a slow start. It can be challenging to predict how everyone will perform at a course where birdies are expected to be plentiful. Last year’s 36 hole cut was set at four underpar, meaning players have little room for error if they wish to make it to the weekend. Among the top players to consider fading, Akshai Batia 11,500 stands out. While he has been decent in recent months, his putting and short game have hindered him from achieving top finishes like he did earlier in the spring. Additionally, Batia has never made a cut in four previous appearances at this course. While fairways and greens will be my primary focus in determining who to roster, I also want to see some recent foreign with the putter or past success at Sedgefield.

A strong performance could secure his spot in the second and third playoff events. While a poor showing might jeopardize his chance to compete in the St. Jude championship.
