PGA Splits Advanced Data Picks and Analysis: Wyndham Championship
The regular season of the PGA Tour concludes with one of the easier courses on Tour at Sedgefield Country Club and the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC. Whether it’s players desperate for a high finish to make the FedExCup Playoffs or Carolina residents with a home-area advantage, there are numerous angles to analyze this tournament from a player selection perspective. With so many important splits to analyze, let’s dig into some historical strokes gained stats based on the setup at TPC Southwind and try to determine who might be a good course fit this week.
If we had to boil down success at Sedgefield to three factors it would be: A) keep the tee shot in the fairway, B) hit the approach shot to the correct quadrant of the green (preferably below the hole), and C) sink the birdie putt on the pure Bermuda greens. So let’s dig deeper into the Strokes Gained (SG) and other numbers for each of these factors and determine which players in each salary tier make for good DraftKings plays this week.
