Then it's on to the 2026 Wyndham Championship preview at Sedgefield: the Donald Ross design, full Bermuda conditions, why fairways matter, tricky greens and surrounds, short-to-mid iron proximity, correlated courses, notable past results, and weather/scoring angles — plus a tease for a big announcement coming Tuesday.

...

In this episode of Hold the Green, Twitterless Steve previews the Rocket Classic solo, focusing on weather, course changes, and player fit over specific picks. He expects tougher scoring Thursday if north winds hit, with the par 5s and converted long par 4s (7, 17) playing hardest into the wind; Friday's southerly winds should ease those holes, while weekend rain/storm winds are possible. New Bentgrass greens are surprisingly soft (per Xander Schauffele), likely due to heat, dryness, and new-turf protection — a setup that may favor longer hitters despite added bunkers, ditches, and fescue. He expects similar overall scoring at the ne...
