Wyndham Championship Betting Tips: Will Webb Simpson deliver in his favourite event?

Odds and preview for PGA Tour tournament

After last week’s thrilling PGA Championship, it’s time for one last push for FedEx Cup playoff places as the regular season wraps up with the Wyndham Championship.

The tournament runs from Thursday to Sunday this week. And when all’s said and done at the Sedgefield Country Club, the top 125 players in the FedEx Cup standings will make the playoffs.

Before it gets started, we’ve looked at the favourites to triumph in Greensboro, North Carolina, as well as some longer shots worth keeping an eye on.

Webb Simpson – 10/1

Most players will have a tournament that really stands out for them. They’ll look forward to it every year. But by any standards, Webb Simpson has a very special connection with the Wyndham Championship.

He secured his first PGA Tour win here in 2011. The North Carolina native has seven top-10 finishes in 11 Wyndham Championship appearances, including second-place finishes in both of the last two years. Simpson loves this event so much he even named his daughter after it (really).

The frontrunner has already won twice this season and looks to be in very good shape for this one.

Brooks Koepka – 11/1

After a bruising two weeks, can Brooks Koepka pick himself up here? He was fancied in the WGC FedEx St Jude, but finished second to Justin Thomas. Then his hopes of winning a third consecutive PGA Championship ended with a 4-over last Sunday.
