South Korean Im Made For Sedgefield

In-form Im Sung-jae loves playing at this short par-70 course in North Carolina and it is no surprise that he is the 14/1 favourite with betting sites to win his first PGA Tour title in three years.

Im has finished inside the top 10 in six of his last nine tournaments, including seventh place at The Open, and he should be refreshed after two weeks off.

That general form also correlates with his performances at Sedgefield where he has posted three top 10s in his five visits, never finishing outside the leading 25 players.

He may be an obvious choice, but with many of the world’s elite skipping this week, it seems an ideal time for Im to get over the line at a course where there will be birdies galore as usual.

Horschel Has High Hopes

Billy Horschel produced his best ever performance at a major a fortnight ago when he finished joint-runner-up to Schauffele at Troon just nine weeks after he made it into the top 10 of the USPGA Championship for the first time.

The 37-year-old American actually topped the leaderboard heading into the final round in South Ayrshire but admitted he made “a few too many mistakes when I didn’t need to”, thus scuppering his chances of a maiden major.

Horschel is not one to dwell on missed opportunities as he returns to a course where he has finished inside the top 10 in three of his past four visits.

Fifth here in 2016 and 11th two years later, this is a venue where Horschel thrives and after two weeks off he looks a decent prospect at 25/1 with golf betting sites for a second title of the season following his success at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

With eight places available at William Hill, Horschel could be the one for your free bets.

Old King Cole Has Maiden Crown in Sight

In 2023, Eric Cole became the second oldest rookie of the year on the PGA Tour at the age of 35 and he can back that up by winning a first title.

Cole had an exhausting run of 11 successive tournaments during which he finished sixth and seventh at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and John Deere Classic respectively, but fortunately he has had a couple of weeks off to recover.

The World No. 54 finished 14th on his Wyndham Championship debut 12 months ago and with many of the best players on the globe absent this week, it could be time for Cole to lift a PGA Tour trophy.

Cole is 55/1 with betting apps to achieve just that and that seems a fair price in a diluted field in terms of quality.

Big Chance For Smalley In Top 20 Market

Alex Smalley missed the cut here a year ago, but his previous two visits - 29th and 13th - were respectable enough.

The 27-year-old from Rochester, New York, has been trying to pull out all the stops in a bid to make the Playoffs, but at 128th in the rankings he needs a big performance to make the top 70 for next week’s FedEx St Jude Championship.

Smalley has finished inside the top 40 in his last three tournaments, including 12th at the 3M Open, so his form is on an upward trajectory.

New betting sites have Smalley priced at 9/2 for a top 20 and that seems a realistic prospect as the last of The Panel’s Wyndham Championship betting tips.
