It&#8217;s been a tremendous success. Winners typically rank inside the top 15 of our model, though, like any model, sometimes there are outlier champions. <\/p>\n<p>Let me walk you through this week&#8217;s results and how I get to them. You&#8217;ll see our top 10 for free, and the rest of the model, including potential sleepers and value picks, is available for GNN members.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/gnn-membership-special\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SAVE ON GNN MEMBERSHIP:<\/a> Join now, and get 2 years for $70 OR 3 years for $100!

The rubric looks at this data over the longer term and medium term to derive a player&#8217;s quality across the tour and across different fields. I include specific weighting of strokes gained and Quality Strokes Gained against the field strength that week, creating a range of comparison to see how players do against particular competition.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the rubric accounts for two factors I look at every week: current form in the last 10 PGA Tour events played and their average strokes gained on the host course in the last three years.<\/p>\n<p>All told, the model is designed to point out quality players and boost those middling players who have good current form or good course history.<\/p>\n<p>While I think a long-term view of a player&#8217;s performance is the best way to measure their potential, there&#8217;s no doubt that short-term heaters happen. To that end, for GNN members, I also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/short-term-model-last-10-events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">short-term model<\/a> that compares a player&#8217;s performance to his peers over the last 10 PGA Tour events.<\/p>\n<p>2025 Wyndham Championship rankings: Top 10<\/p>\n<p>POS<br \/>\nPLAYER<br \/>\nPTS<br \/>\nDK PRICE<br \/>\nODDS<\/p>\n<p>1<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/profile\/keegan-bradley-profile\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"27\" title=\"Keegan Bradley PGA Tour profile and stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bradley, Keegan<\/a><br \/>\n1.265<br \/>\n10300<br \/>\n2500<\/p>\n<p>2<br \/>\nGriffin, Ben<br \/>\n1.219<br \/>\n10100<br \/>\n2500<\/p>\n<p>3<br \/>\nRai, Aaron<br \/>\n1.197<br \/>\n9300<br \/>\n2000<\/p>\n<p>4<br \/>\nGreyserman, Max<br \/>\n1.119<br \/>\n8200<br \/>\n5500<\/p>\n<p>5<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/profile\/hideki-matsuyama-profile\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"20\" title=\"Hideki Matsuyama PGA Tour profile and stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matsuyama, Hideki<\/a><br \/>\n1.113<br \/>\n9800<br \/>\n3500<\/p>\n<p>6<br \/>\nGlover, Lucas<br \/>\n1.068<br \/>\n8900<br \/>\n3500<\/p>\n<p>7<br \/>\nMacintyre, Robert<br \/>\n1.042<br \/>\n9600<br \/>\n3000<\/p>\n<p>8<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/profile\/matt-fitzpatrick-profile\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"13\" title=\"Matt Fitzpatrick PGA Tour profile and stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fitzpatrick, Matt<\/a><br \/>\n0.964<br \/>\n10600<br \/>\n1800<\/p>\n<p>9<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/profile\/kurt-kitayama-profile\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"45\" title=\"Kurt Kitayama PGA Tour profile and stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kitayama, Kurt<\/a><br \/>\n0.963<br \/>\n8800<br \/>\n4000<\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/profile\/alex-noren-profile\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"50\" title=\"Alex Noren PGA Tour profile and stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Noren, Alex<\/a><br \/>\n0.898<br \/>\n7200<br \/>\n8000<\/p>\n<p>To see our hidden picks and weekly model, join GNN!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegolfnewsnet.com\/membership\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">For just $40 for 12 months<\/a>, GNN members get access to our winning weekly PGA Tour event model, in-depth DraftKings picks, searchable database of PGA Tour results from 2011-present and top-15 PGA Tour trends, as well exclusive members-only content.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also have access to our course fit modeling, Quality Stokes Gained data, course demand insights, as well individual access to fantasy expert Ryan Ballengee for your unique questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to my weekly fantasy golf model for the 2025 Wyndham Championship!
