Past and present Major winners in the lineup include Aaron Rai, Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Brian Harman, Brooks Koepka, Jason Day, Lucas Glover, and Webb Simpson.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Hideki Matsuyama has been in solid form since the end of May, placing T13 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, T43 at the Memorial Tournament, T65 at the U.S. Open, T14 at the Travelers Championship, T14 at the Open Championship, T3 at the 3M Open, and T5 at the Rocket Classic last weekend.

The ten-time PGA Tour winner has contested the Wyndham Championship on six occasions, finishing T3 in 2016, T11 in 2018, MC in 2019, MC in 2021, MC in 2023, and T19 in 2025.

Matsuyama can convert his excellent form into a winning performance in North Carolina this weekend.

Ryan Gerard has been performing well during the past two months, placing T10 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, 2nd at the Memorial Tournament, MC at the U.S. Open, T44 at the Travelers Championship, T26 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T9 at the Open Championship, and T8 at the Rocket Classic last weekend.

The American has made two appearances at the Wyndham Championship, missing the cut in 2023 and 2025.

Gerard has performed well lately and has a good chance of winning the title at the Sedgefield Country Club this weekend.

Ben Kohles has been in decent nick on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour over his last seven starts, placing T23 at the U.S. Open, T19 at the Memorial Health Championship, T3 at the John Deere Classic, T15 at the ISCO Championship, T44 at the Travelers Championship, 9th at the 3M Open, and T8 at the Rocket Classic last weekend.

The American golfer has featured three times at the Wyndham Championship, finishing T54 in 2022, MC in 2024, and MC in 2025. 

Kohles has been thereabouts lately and can secure victory at the Sedgefield Country Club this weekend.

Blades Brown has been in ultra-consistent form on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour since the beginning of May, placing T9 at the Myrtle Beach Classic, T16 at the Colonial Life Charity Classic, T14 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, T13 at the UNC Health Championship, T17 at the BMW Charity Pro-Am, T55 at the Memorial Health Championship, T12 at the John Deere Classic, T22 at the Blue Championship, T11 at the Corales Puntacana Championship, T5 at the Evans Scholars Invitational, and T6 at the Utah Championship last weekend.

The 19-year-old will make his debut at the Wyndham Championship this weekend. 

Brown has shown that he can mix it with the best and should enter calculations in North Carolina.
