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.

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.

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...

    • Day 303 - Long travel day, so just some mirror swings. Still trying to find that special combination that doesn’t induce hip pain. 
    • Day 54 - 2024-11-13 Played 18 at Tobacco Road.
    • ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..
    • Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..  
    • In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.
