2022 Wyndham Championship Weather Forecast and Projections for Sedgefield Country Club
We’re teeing off for the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro NC this week, and while we’ll see a few afternoon showers and storms, the wind will mostly cooperate for us.
As usual in my Golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps to soften and slow the course, meaning it helps as much as it hurts. With wind there’s no helpful side, it’s all negative impact, and the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try and highlight the timeframe with the lightest winds, the time with the strongest winds, and to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can use then use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

Wyndham Championship Weather Report & Forecast
Round 1 Weather Projection – Thursday, August 4th
Earliest tee times can expect calm winds to start, 0-5mph. Those winds will tick up to around 5mph for most of the morning hours. By the afternoon we’ll see winds increase a hair further, 5-10mph throughout the afternoon. There’s a low chance of a shower or storm in the afternoon.
Round 2 Weather Projection – Friday, August 5th
Winds will be a bit flatter throughout the day Friday, meaning we won’t see them increase nor decrease throughout the day. I think we’re looking at about a 5-10mph wind all day long, with a chance for scattered showers and storms in the afternoon.
Round 3 Weather Projection – Saturday, August 6th
Back to the classic wind pattern of “calm in the AM, picking up a bit but still very manageable in the afternoon”. I’d expect about a 5mph wind through the morning, 5-10 in the afternoon hours. Afternoon rain chances will climb somewhat for the weekend.
Round 4 Weather Projection – Sunday, August 7th
Almost a carbon copy of Saturday. 5mph winds through the morning, 5-10mph during the afternoon, with some scattered showers and storms possible.
Overall Wyndham Championship Weather Forecast
My goal is always to try to avoid peak winds, but when even the strongest winds are at or under 10mph, that becomes a lot less necessary. I do think that if you go with an early Thursday / Late Friday golfer you will get the “better” of the draw, but it’s only going to be a very minimal difference (average winds faced might be, say, 5mph instead of 6mph), and I don’t expect we’ll see a big edge in scoring for either wave. We do have rain to contend with, but with scattered afternoon showers and storms there’s not much you can do other than hope they stay away from the course. Stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
