2022 Wyndham Championship odds, field notes, best best and picks to win

It’s time for the final event of the 2021-22 PGA Tour regular season.

The Wyndham Championship, played at Sedgefield Country Club, is the last opportunity for players on the bubble to earn their way into the postseason for a chance to reach the Tour Championship at East Lake.

Kevin Kisner is the defending champion, but coming off a missed cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic is not one of the betting favorites (+4000). That honor goes to Shane Lowry and Will Zalatoris (+1500), who have both been close to winning several times this season.

Other big names in the field include Sungjae Im, Webb Simpson, Billy Horschel, Corey Conners, Adam Scott and Tyrrell Hatton.
