The final regulation event of the 2025 PGA Tour season gets underway at Sedgefield Country Club, with many of the game’s best looking to grab the final FedEx Cup points before the Playoffs next week.

Since moving to the North Carolina venue in 2008, the lowest winning tournament score has been 14-under-par, with the highest jumping up to 22-under-par.
What’s more, it’s one of the only courses on the PGA Tour calendar that has yielded a 59, with nine-time PGA Tour winner, Brandt Snedeker, managing the feat in 2018, carding one eagle, 10 birdies and one bogey to shoot the magic number.
Although we haven’t seen a 59 on the course since, there have been a number of 60s, two of which came in 2024, with one of those during the first round from Beau Hossler. The American carded an eagle, nine birdies and a bogey that day.

With that being said, who am I backing to lead after the first round…
