Win and he’s in.
That’s right, if Tiger Woods can win this week’s Wyndham Championship he’ll secure a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs. Actually, Woods, who is ranked 187th in the standings, could crack the top 125 with a solo second as well. Though that isn’t guaranteed.
Tiger from 10 years ago, there’s a great chance that’s happening. Heck, Tiger 2013 had a good shot. But current Tiger Woods? Not exactly at the top of his game. The former world’s No. 1 is currently ranked 286th and his best finish in 2015 was a T18 at the Masters. Then he missed the cut in the other 3 majors.
Even the sportsbooks aren’t giving Woods much of a shot at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina, listing him at +4000, well behind favorites Brooks Koepka (+1200), Brandt Snedeker (+1600) and Hideki Matsuyama (+1600).
In fact, Woods, who is playing the first Wyndham Championship of his career, is paired with Koepka and Matsuyama for the first two rounds, which will air on the Golf Channel on Thursday and Friday. The trio tees off Thursday from Hole 10 at 7:50 a.m. Eastern. Following them at 8 a.m. is Bill Haas, Martin Kaymer and Charl Schwartzel.
Other featured groups include: Billy Horschel, Adam Scott and Luke Donald at 12:50 p.m. from tee 1. They’ll be followed by Snedeker, last year’s winner Camilo Villegas and Webb Simpson at 1.
