Matt Fitzpatrick is a 20/1 favourite with Sky Bet to win the Wyndham Championship starting today
The PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship is an open field according to Sky Bet - with the shortest-priced player in the market a healthy 20/1. It is Matt Fitzpatrick who enters as the favourite to win - as the Englishman looks to secure the third PGA Tour victory of his career. Fitzpatrick enters this weekend's tournament off the back of a strong performance at The Open Championship in Northern Ireland a fortnight ago - with the 30-year-old finishing tied for fourth at 11-under. It is Ben Griffin who is the second best-backed in the market at 22/1, while Keegan Bradley and Aaron Rai are next at 25/1 respectively.

Rickie Fowler climbing FedExCup points list, but he seeks more
July 31 - While professional golf's four majors have come and gone, there's still lots of money and prestige to be earned over the next month. The PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship, which begins Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., is the final tournament before the $100 million FedExCup Playoffs. That means it's the final chance for golfers to collect FedExCup points and claim one of the 70 invites to next week's $20 million FedEx St. Jude Championship. Rickie Fowler enters Thursday's play ranked No. 52 on the points list, so he's guaranteed a chance to play in Memphis. But only the top 50 players earn a shot to play the following week in the BMW Championship, and only the top 30 get to compete for $60 million at the Tour Championship. So there's plenty of motivation to excel at Sedgefield. "Yeah, I definitely believe there's some good golf coming up (for me) and it wouldn't be a bad thing if it happened to be in the next few weeks," Fowler said Wednesday. The 36-year-old Fowler has been steadily climbing the points list since he shared 15th place at the Truist Classic in mid-May. He shared 16th place at the Charles Schwab Challenge, tied for seventh at the Memorial, split 18th at the John Deere and snagged a share of 14th at the Open Championship with a final-round 65. What does the California native credit for his recent surge? As happens with so many athletes, he hasn't been bothered as much by injuries of late. "Just working on getting the body feeling better," he said. "(I've) struggled with a few things. Yeah, just been in a better spot and been able to go out and play as much pain-free as we can. But that's probably been one of the biggest thing(s), just allow myself to go play. "Definitely nice to see some trending in the right direction, some good solid finishes. Yeah, looking forward to hopefully putting together a good little run and finish up the season." Fowler finished 101st in last year's FedExCup points standings and did not get to play in either the Masters or the U.S. Open this year, so getting back into the top 70 is a notable achievement. But finishing among the top 50 would be that much more impressive because, in addition to the current FedExCup opportunities, it would unlock invitations to all eight signature events next year. Each event featured a $20 million purse this year. --Field Level Media

Trump has spent almost a third of his presidency in properties he owns, new report shows
During his recent five-day trip to Scotland, Donald Trump spent most of the time on his own golf courses and hotels. This appears to be par for the course for the president, who has spent almost a third of his second presidency so far at properties that he owns, according to new analysis by Forbes. Out of his first 191 days back in office, 75 of them have been spent at his own businesses at various locations including Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, Nevada, and now Scotland. Of these, over half (45 days) have been spent playing golf, according to online tracker Did Trump Golf Today? – which accounts for about 23 percent of his second term so far. The president visited his courses 16 out of the first 17 weekends back as Commander-in-Chief. According to Forbes, in January, days after retaking the Oval Office, Trump went to Las Vegas to give a speech on his no-tax-on-tips pledge – while staying at his Trump International Hotel. From there he flew to Miami for a GOP conference at Trump National Doral. After a few days spent back in Washington D.C., Trump returned to Florida and visited his Mar-a-Lago estate. In fact, the president's most prized home – that was subject to an FBI raid, during which agents recovered classified documents stored in rooms including the bathroom – has been his most visited residence, having spent 35 days there since January 20. Forbes analysis shows that Trump spent 12 days there in February. The president has spent multiple weekends on his various golf courses – including every single one in March. The Trump golf tracker estimates that this has cost the U.S. tax payer roughly $63 million. The president also hosted a candlelit dinner at Mar-a-Lago for a political action committee established two days after his 2024 victory on March 1. Later that month Trump also golfed at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey. In April, after announcing his controversial 'Liberation Day' tariffs, the president went to Florida for yet another golf tournament at the Doral – the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Despite heading on a three-country tour of the Middle East in mid-May, the president still found time to visit his properties on either side – spending 13 days in total at Trump residences. After returning from his trip he resided mostly at his clubs in Virginia and New Jersey, according to Forbes. According to the analysis, the president appears to be put off by the Florida heat during summer, instead preferring to spend time in Virginia and New Jersey – rounding off the month with a four-day trip at the latter. This past month, despite a trip to Europe, Trump has kept up appearances at his clubs. The president encouraged world leaders to meet him halfway (and sometimes on the green), with visits from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer at his resort in Turnberry. The president concluded his Scottish trip by opening a new golf course at his resort in Menie, Aberdeenshire, on Tuesday morning, playing a quick final round before heading back to Washington.
