The 2025 Wyndham Championship

Summertime in the South means every day has a chance for a scattered thunderstorm or two, but if the lightning and rain dodge us, the field should be in for some gettable (if extremely warm) conditions. Each afternoon has a slightly higher chance of storms, but there doesn’t appear to be any expected wave advantage as of writing.

Akshay Bhatia -158 ($9100) vs Jake Knapp +126 ($9000)

For the mule national championship this week at Sedgefield, we’re looking in the low $9k range where the sharp line-setters heavily favor Akshay Bhatia in a 72-hole matchup against Jake Knapp.

With Knapp making his first start at the Wyndham compared to Akshay making his fifth, the latter has the clear experience advantage. But you could almost say that Bhatia only has two years of course knowledge, given he has just eight rounds to his name over those four starts, having missed the cut every time.

The public is fading the oddsmakers, at least according to our Nut Hut Ownership Projections available in the Discord. Our count shows Jake Knapp is the more popular pick, coming in at just under 13%-owned. Meanwhile, Akshay is flying under the radar a bit at 10.6%

Over-Unders for the Wyndham Championship

It feels mean to fade a pair of desperate players on the final week before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, but that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Yes, Sahith has been dealing with an injury, but the guy hasn’t made a cut since April. Sedgefield can be a birdie fest at times, but five birdies from a guy in such poor form making his debut appearance at this event doesn’t seem likely.

Same goes for EVR, though at least he has a few starts at Sedgefield under his belt (T37, MC, MC). A rare runner-up at the Barracuda improved what’s been a terrible summer for him, and our BTN models don’t project another good week as he ranks 108th out of 156 in the field.

Ben Griffin (-120) v Robert MacIntyre

The final regular-season stop at the Wyndham gives us a sneaky-good matchup between two players in solid form, but the edge clearly goes to North Carolina native Ben Griffin when you dig into the numbers. Both players have been trending nicely, but Griffin stands out in our model this week.

He ranks 7th in Strokes Gained: Approach compared to Bobby Mac’s 32nd — a key stat at Sedgefield, where precision with the irons is everything. The course history leans heavily Griffin’s way as well, with two top 10s in his last three starts here. MacIntyre, by contrast, has never found a groove at this track, with a missed cut and a T65 in his two appearances. We’ll ride the form, the irons, and the home-course edge with Ben Griffin to close out the regular season on a high note.

*DISCLAIMER: The Chalk Bomb is CHALK for a reason! This is a ballsy call. We're simply giving you 1 player projected to be highly owned that we think could warrant a fade in order to gain leverage in DFS GPP Tournaments. Sack up & fade OR ignore the play. 

After seven long months of golf, the PGA TOUR’s regular season finale has arrived as playoff hopefuls descend upon Greensboro, NC for one final chance to climb inside the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings.

While most of the game’s biggest names are taking the week off, having already secured a spot in next week’s FedEx St. Jude Classic, a few are making the trip to Sedgefield and are eligible for this week’s Chalk Bomb.

For those unfamiliar, the Chalk Bomb is limited to players projected at over 15% ownership in DFS according to our proprietary projections available in the Tour Junkies Discord. This week, that leaves us with a total of 10 players to choose from, including several Ryder Cup hopefuls on both the American and European sides…

As always, let’s begin with some wisdom from Bet the Number and their proprietary model for Sedgefield CC. This week, they’re highlighting: Driver Distance from Edge of Fairway (i.e. when you miss, how far do you miss), Strokes Gained Approach from 100-170 yards, Scrambling Percentage and Three-Putt Avoidance. All stats are calculated over the last 40 rounds.

Here’s where this week’s Chalk Bomb ranks in the field of 156 in those categories:

SG: OTT — 99th
SG: Approach from 100-170 — 97th
Scrambling % — 29th
Three-Putt Avoidance — 78th

These are honestly shocking statistics considering how hot this guy was a few weeks ago. But back-to-back missed cuts at the Deere and the Open Championship have returned this guy to Earth, and the data suggests we may not see a bounce-back at Sedgefield.

That said, this player does have a solid course history at this venue that is essentially a home game for the North Carolina native. In three starts since 2022, his record at Sedgefield reads: 4th, MC, T7.

This is a risky fade as this player is one of the favorites for a reason — but with a projected ownership nearing 20%, you can make up some ground very quickly if he has a poor week.

So at $10,100 on DraftKings this week,

Ben Griffin, you are the Chalk Bomb!

I feel like at some point in the night, all traffic lights should just function as a stop sign. Unilaterally with no exceptions.

If you ever really need to know what time it is, just walk into a kitchen. There's always a clock. Usually like, four of them.

I wonder how much our pets have headaches and we just never know about it. You’re dragging Ole Duke out for a walk and the dog has a splitting headache. Jerk.

Alright folks—that’s all I’ve got for the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. Stay well, and good luck with all your PGA DFS lineups and bets. BOME!
