Wyndham Championship 2026 draws top contenders as FedEx Cup race heats up

The 2026 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, became a pivotal stop on the PGA Tour as players vied for FedEx Cup playoff positions. Three golfers were highlighted as likely winners: world‑ranked Cameron Young, who entered as the defending champion after recent top‑10 finishes; South Korea’s Tom Kim, who has a strong recent record at the event; and 21‑year‑old phenom Jackson Koivun, fresh off his first PGA Tour victory.

Meanwhile, English professional Alex Fitzpatrick discussed how adopting World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler’s calm mindset helped him navigate a career‑changing season. Since earning PGA Tour membership at the Zurich Classic, Fitzpatrick logged five top‑10 finishes in ten starts, rising to 19th in the FedEx Cup rankings and positioning himself for a playoff spot.
