The 2015 Wyndham Championship is being held at Sedgefield Country Club (Ross Course) in Greensboro, N.C. The course will play as a par-70 measuring 7,127 yards for the event.

The field in Greensboro is set to include Adam Scott, ranked No. 12 in the Official World Golf Rankings, Billy Horschel (No. 23), Paul Casey (No. 27) and Brandt Snedeker (No. 28).

Also, for the first time ever, Tiger Woods will play the Wyndham Championship. As with many other players in the field this week, Woods needs a strong finish to crack the top 125 in FedExCup Points and earn a spot in the Playoffs.

Usually I'd go with the old reliables at Sedgefield but this is a different Wyndham Championship (and not just because Tiger's here). Still, I like the way Snedeker is playing.

If I’m going to win the league, converting on risk is necessary. Otherwise, I wouldn’t endorse Justin Thomas over Hideki Matsuyama.

Took Koepka at the PGA and have no problem taking him again after the final-round 64.

A good record here, and a win would go a long way toward his Presidents Cup chances. He ranks 16th in the U.S. team standings. A win would likely vault him into the top 10.

The 5-foot-10, 140-pounds-with-bricks-in-his-pockets whipsaw has been pretty locked in his last three starts (T5, T4, T18). He'll add a win to that soon.

He's in great form and looking to make a push towards the Presidents Cup team. This could be the week for Win No. 2.

It's the 4-B Club! Koepka's on fire now, but bombers don't necessarily win at Sedgefield?

Time to downshift into FedExCup contention for Horschel. He might have to bust out the multi-colored plaid pants to make a move from current position of 43rd.

When the rookie wins on Sunday for his first TOUR title, they'll be saying that Jordan Spieth is a good buddy of his .

His game is rounding into form. Coming off a T12 at the PGA Championship.

As much as I would like Tiger getting back to at least semi-resemblance to his old form, I doubt this week is it. I have no interest in following Tiger until he gets better. The others on the field seems more interesting.

I will be watching. I'd like to see Tiger shoot in the 80's.

Kind of mean-spirited, but alright. Pretty good field here. Looking forward to it. Interesting to see how Scott does.

Paging Chris P...who do you like this week? I am on: Koepka at 12-1 Snedeker at 15-1 Grace at 20-1 Simpson at 28-1 Donald at 60-1 Harmon at 90-1

Haha I only do majors. The favorites going in with good form have been winning most of the time in the majors. That's the method I've used. These smaller events you might as well pick a name out of a hat. If I were forced to choose, I'd prolly go Koepka.

ALRIGHTY MA****A I'LL QUOTE YOU ON THIS WHEN HE SHOOTS A CLEAN 74.

I hear you...and trust me these are very low stakes $2/$5 plays.

If I had to narrow it down to one I would go with Grace.


I expect a decent showing like he had at Greenbrier and Quicken Loans. I don't see him getting in the playoffs but I give him credit for trying. He seems to perform better with less pressure this year. We'll see what happens.

agreed... as much as i would like to see tiger win this week and get into the playoffs, i think it may be too much of an ask... i'm just glad he is out there "getting reps"... he is making some birdies... so far, anyway...


Tiger at -5!

    • Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for. 
    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?     
    • I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.
