2026 Wyndham Championship odds put Cameron Young at +850 in the FanDuel snapshots published by CBS Sports, but the public calls from SportsLine’s projection model went in different directions for two other names near the top of the board. The model rated Ben Griffin, listed at +2500, as a top-three contender while projecting Jackson Koivun to only just reach the top 10.
The tournament was scheduled to start Thursday, Aug. 6, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is the PGA Tour regular season’s last stop before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with the top 70 players in points set to advance, according to CBS Sports.
What were the 2026 Wyndham Championship odds and model picks?
Young was the clear listed favorite at +850 in both CBS Sports reports. Behind him, though, the reported prices differed. One snapshot had Koivun at +1600 and Hideki Matsuyama at +1800; another listed both players at +2200. CBS Sports labeled the FanDuel numbers as subject to change, so they should be read as snapshots rather than a current board.
- Cameron Young: +850 in both published FanDuel snapshots.
- Ben Griffin: +2500 in both snapshots. SportsLine’s model projected him as a top-three contender.
- Jackson Koivun: +1600 in one report and +2200 in another. SportsLine’s public recommendation was to avoid him in outright-winner and top-five markets.
- Hideki Matsuyama: +1800 in one snapshot and +2200 in the other.
The Koivun call runs against the rookie’s recent headline result. CBS Sports said the 23-year-old Auburn product won the 3M Open a few weeks earlier, but had not finished better than a tie for 10th otherwise and was tied for 31st at the Rocket Classic. SportsLine’s simulation put him around the edge of the top 10, according to the CBS report.
Griffin’s case rests on more than one missed cut at the Rocket Classic. CBS Sports reported that the 30-year-old had four top-10 finishes since late April and had placed in the top 11 three times in four Wyndham starts. That was enough for SportsLine’s model to see a stronger finish than his +2500 price suggested.
SportsLine says its Mike McClure-built model simulated the event 10,000 times and had correctly identified 17 majors entering the weekend, including the 2026 Masters. That is SportsLine’s performance claim; the supplied reports do not independently verify it. The service also said it liked an unnamed contender priced around +4000, while its complete projected leaderboard was not publicly disclosed.
