Wyndham Championship Picks: Johnny’s Long Shots Ready to Wreck the Board

The Wyndham Championship is here, and while most of the betting public will chase recognizable names near the top of the odds board, Johnny’s Winning Picks is attacking the tournament from a completely different angle.

The featured card, presented by Tom’s Town Distilling Co. and Orion Golf, is loaded with aggressive outright plays, plus top-10 and top-20 bets designed to produce value without requiring a trophy on Sunday.

The headliner is Ben Griffin at 25-1 to win. Griffin offers the shortest outright price on Johnny’s board, but he still brings enough upside to justify a serious look in a tournament where birdies, momentum and late-round nerves can scramble the leaderboard quickly.

Next comes Ryan Gerard at 26-1, another dangerous option sitting in the sweet spot between contender and overlooked threat. Gerard doesn’t carry the shortest odds in the field, but that’s exactly where bettors can sometimes find the best combination of potential and payoff.

The third outright winner is Davis Thompson at 35-1. Thompson’s price gives bettors a bigger return while still targeting a player capable of making a legitimate weekend charge. At 35-1, he’s the kind of selection that could turn a crowded leaderboard into a profitable Sunday.

Then there’s the weekly “Ham Sandwich” play—and this one isn’t shy.

Chris Kirk at 70-1 is the full-send long shot. It’s a massive number, but that’s the point. Kirk doesn’t need to be the safest pick on the board. He needs to be live enough to make the potential payout worth the gamble.

For bettors who don’t want to rely entirely on an outright victory, Johnny also has four placement plays.

Sungjae Im at +500 and Mac Meissner at +500 are the two top-10 selections. Both bets return five-to-one if the player finishes inside the top 10, providing a more forgiving route than picking the outright champion.

The top-20 card features Denny McCarthy at +325 and Lee Hodges at +450. Those wagers offer lower risk than the winner market while still carrying worthwhile plus-money returns.

The Wyndham Championship can become chaotic fast, and Johnny’s card is built to embrace that volatility—not run from it.

As the motto says: If you’re not following, you’re not winning.
