Giuffra advised a nibble on Matt Kuchar Top-20 at +360. The 47-year-old finished T5 at the recent John Deere and T12 at last year’s Wyndham, demonstrating continued competence on short, target-golf layouts. Giuffra emphasized Kuchar’s combination of driving accuracy and a still-reliable flatstick, ideal traits for a Sedgefield track where strokes-gained approach and Bermuda putting routinely determine the leaderboard. With books seemingly discounting the veteran’s advancing age rather than his current form, Giuffra sees +360 as a misprice for a player whose floor remains higher than most in this range.

Giuffra suggested betting Nicolai Hojgaard for a Top-10 finish at +450. He pointed to the Dane’s surge in form—T4 at the Scottish Open and T14 at the British Open—as evidence his ball-striking is peaking. Hojgaard sits 71st in the FedExCup, so a playoff-saving result is required, providing added urgency. Giuffra likes that Hojgaard couples length with solid Bermuda putting and believes recent gains in driving accuracy mitigate the only weakness that could be exposed on Sedgefield’s narrow corridors. While stopping short of an outright win call, Giuffra expects Hojgaard on Sunday’s first page of the leaderboard, making +450 a worthwhile splash.

Brian Giuffra backed Denny McCarthy at +5500 to win Sedgefield outright. Giuffra argued the par-70 layout rewards the Maryland native’s strengths—accuracy off the tee, elite Bermuda putting and a tidy wedge game—traits he highlighted as decisive at a course featuring several drive-and-pitch par-4s and two reachable par-5s. Although McCarthy missed both overseas cuts, Giuffra noted that links golf historically masks his upside, pointing instead to a T11 at the John Deere and T12 at the Travelers on similar parkland setups. With McCarthy still outside the top-30 in FedExCup points and needing a late-season push to reach the Tour Championship, Giuffra expects a fully motivated effort and believes past Sunday stumbles are already baked into the generous 55-1 price.
