How Player Rankings are Computed
Who to watch for at the Wyndham Championship
Best Bets:
Brandt Snedeker
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T28 | CUT | T8 | T5 | T69 | Win |
Time for him to put his game into overdrive like he did two years ago. More is at stake than just a higher position in the FedExCup playoffs, he is on the bubble for making the Ryder Cup team.
Webb Simpson
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | T22 | Win | T8 | CUT |
The same with Webb, he comes to a place he has won before and needs a good finish to help get on the Ryder Cup team.
Tim Clark
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T26 | 2 | WD | T6 | T22 | T6 | CUT | T38 |
Great course for his game, yes he missed the cut last week but this place is better for him.
Best of the rest:
Hideki Matsuyama
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
15 |
Has had a terrible summer but look for that to change, course is good for him.
Ernie Els
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T20 | T30 |
Don’t laugh, his game has got sharper since the British Open and this is a course he can win on. He was a last minute entry so he knows something that we may not know.
Brian Harman
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | CUT | CUT |
Good sleeper pick, finished T-3rd last year.
Nick Watney
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T31 | CUT | T6 | CUT |
He has had a terrible year, he isn’t even a thought for the Ryder Cup team but can change that my having a great week in Greensboro.
Solid contenders
Bill Haas
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T20 | T7 | CUT | T28 | T10 | CUT | CUT | CUT | CUT |
Should never forget this guy, has won on Donald Ross courses and could do very well.
Kyle Stanley
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | CUT |
Watch him this week, yes his record isn’t that great at Sedgefield but he is playing well and could steal this.
Patrick Reed
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T66 |
Who knows lightning could strike twice, did finish T-4th at Bridgestone.
Matteo Manassero
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |

Long shots that could come through:
Brooks Koepka

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | T19 |
Yes has missed four cuts in his last five starts but did have a T-3rd at Barracuda which is a great sign.
Ryo Ishikawa
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Year has been terrible in the States and is looking to get things back together.
