Wyndham Championship 2025 betting tips, free bets and latest golf odds
This week's Wyndham Championship offers players the last chance to join the FedEx Cup's $100 million 'Dash for Cash' with $10million waiting for the Tour Championship winner on August 24. The top seventy in the standings will qualify for next week's first play-off tournament, the St Jude Championship. But a few players already guaranteed places in that event are in action this week, hoping to bank a few extra points. They include USA Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, who is tenth on the FedEx list, and already guaranteed a clear run through to the 30-man Tour Championship. It is hard to know why Bradley is teeing it up. Maybe he wants to cast an eye over the likes of Jordan Spieth and Ben Griffin, both longshots to make the USA team. He could leave with a bit of a bloody nose, as the English trio of Matt Fitzpatrick, Aaron Rai and Harry Hall are all strongly fancied to go well in Greensboro, North Carolina, along with Scottish star Robert MacIntyre. Free bet offers from our betting partners Wyndham Championship betting tips Fitzpatrick heads the market on the strength of his fourth place finishes at both the Scottish Open and the Open itself. Those performances heralded a welcome return to form by the former US Open winner - but was that enough evidence to suggest he should be backed as a 16-1 favourite? I'm not sure it is. Defending champion Aaron Rai looks better value at 25-1, and his wire-to-wire victory a year ago shows he really likes this course. But in an event that could develop into a putting contest it is Hall who stands out, especially at a best-priced 40-1. The US-based Englishman is one of the best around with the flat stick, and he certainly did not disgrace himself on his return to the UK. He finished in the top 20 at the Scottish Open and tied 29th at Portrush. He also boasts two top tens in his last four outings in the States, and has been threatening to add to his breakthrough victory at the Isco Championship this time last year. MacIntyre never got going as the defending champion in Scotland and only just made the cut. But a share of seventh at Portrush was a much better reflection on his current standing in the game. He is hard to ignore here at 28-1. Jake Knapp is knocking on the door again, and his share of third at the 3M Open last week was a third top five finish in the last few months. At 35-1, he could be the pick of the home contenders. Pierceson Coody has been tearing it up the Korn Ferry Tour, with a couple of seconds and a third place among seven top tens this year. He stepped up at the 3M to join Knapp in a tie for third, and the 70-1 shot should be thereabouts again - a remark that also applies to last week's runner-up, Sam Stevens. He is only slightly shorter in the betting, at 66-1. Kurt Kitayama would not have been on many short lists as the 3M winner. If we are going to see another long shot come in, how about 100-1 former Major winner Gary Woodland. And If Matthieu Pavon can recapture even a shred of his 2024 form, the 400-1 available could look very generous. ********************************************************** Women's Open betting tips The other big event on this week is the Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl, where England's Lottie Woad bids to continue her amazing run since she decided to rub shoulders with the game's elite. The former world No 1 amateur has two wins and a runner-up finish in her three outings with the professionals. But it is still amazing to see her listed as a 6-1 favourite to land her first Major, with world No 1 Nelly Korda at twice those odds. It would be great for the women's game if Woad can continue her sparkling start. But links golf can be highly volatile so I'll look elsewhere on this occasion. Lydia Ko finished strongly to take the title at St Andrews a year ago. At 30-1, she is a sporting bet to make a successful defence. The putting prowess of Jin Young Ko makes her another player worth a second look at 50-1, while Ariya Jutanugarn and Angel Yin should also be considered. Both can be backed at around 25-1.

Golf betting tips: Wyndham Championship 2025 preview
Ron Wood's tips: Bet 1: 1pt win Aaron Rai @ 25/1 with bet365 Bet 2: 1pt win Lucas Glover @ 35/1 with bet365 Bet 3: 1pt win Emiliano Grillo @ 70/1 with bet365 Why Aaron Rai can win the Wyndham Championship Well, we know Rai can win this tournament as he did so last year. His form this season isn't so good but he made the cut at all four majors, most recently finishing 34th at The Open, compared with 75th before his Wyndham Championship success in 2024. Englishman Rai isn't the biggest hitter but he's an accurate driver, his approach play is decent and his putting is fine. Why Lucas Glover can win the Wyndham Championship Glover is another previous winner of this tournament, having lifted the trophy in 2023. He missed the cut last year but has been in form lately, finishing in ties for ninth at the Travelers, fifth at the John Deere Classic and 23rd at The Open. The American's game is much the same as Rai's, being an accurate rather than a long driver, and at least reliable in all other areas. Why Emiliano Grillo can win the Wyndham Championship Grillo has made no impression in two previous starts in this tournament, but he is a two-time PGA Tour winner and was second in this month's John Deere Classic. The Argentinian can drive accurately, his approach play is decent and he's a fair putter, ticking enough boxes to be of interest at big odds. Wyndham Championship – bet365 outright odds (Each-way 1/4 odds, five places; alternative prices and place terms also available) Matt Fitzpatrick 18/1 Aaron Rai 22/1 Ben Griffin 22/1 Keegan Bradley 25/1 Hideki Matsuyama 30/1 Robert MacIntyre 30/1 Si Woo Kim 30/1 35/1 bar (odds correct at time of writing) Already used the bet365 sign-up offer? Check out the latest free bets and the UK's best betting sites Course overview Sedgefield Country Club has small and undulating greens. This course plays to driving accuracy over power and the weather might not be perfect this week. Still, the past three Wyndham Championship winners have shot 18 under par or better. Last year's Wyndham Championship Max Greyserman led by four shots with five holes to play, but made a mess of the run-in. Aaron Rai shot a final-round 64 to win for the first time on the PGA Tour, by two strokes from Greyserman. Highest-ranked players in the Wyndham Championship field 7. Keegan Bradley 12.
