2021 Wyndham Championship: Top 10 power rankings at Sedgefield
The PGA Tour has reached the last stop of the 2020-21 regular season.
It’s the fina chance to earn FedEx Cup points to jostle for a spot inside the top 125 for the playoffs, which begin next week.
The Wyndham Championship is the tournament and Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, is the venue.
The course is a classic Donald Ross design that opened in 1926. It began hosting the Wyndham Championship since 2008.
Sedgefield currently measures to 7,127 yards for a par 70. Fairways and greens are covered in Bermuda grass, a common sight in the southeastern U.S.
It’s a tree lined layout that features fast, tricky greens as its main defense. Brandt Snedeker owns the course record 59 when he went low in round one on the way to his second Wyndham Championship win in 2018.
Sedgefield offers a good variety of easier and more challenging holes. The two par-5s are fairly short and are musts to birdie if you’re going to contend.
Eight of the par-4s are between 400-450 yards.
Power is useful in spots, but it’s all about positioning off the tee to attack Sedgefield’s sloped greens.
It might be a little easier to knock it close given the weather forecast. There is a chance for storms each day with temperatures in the 70s-90s. It’ll be sticky out there.
Winning score has been 20-under or better every year since 2016.
The field is 156 players with the standard 36-hole cut of top 65 and ties. The strength of field isn’t overly impressive as this is where a lot of big names rest in prep for the grind of three playoff events in three weeks.
I’ve got a mix of horses for the course this week, as well as players in good form who I project to post their career best Wyndham Championship finish.
Let’s get into the top 10 in North Carolina:
