There are only three events left in the fall portion of the 2025 PGA Tour schedule, and with limited remaining opportunities to make a move up the FedEx Cup Fall standings, this week’s World Wide Technology Championship looms large for quite a few players.
The tournament favorite, Ben Griffin, is not one such player. Griffin, who is sponsored by World Wide Technology, is one of the biggest success stories in golf this year. He enters what may be his final PGA Tour event of the season with a spot in the top 10 of the world rankings in his sights after opening the year ranked 65th.
While that would be a major milestone for Griffin (whom yours truly playfully refers to as “cousin Ben” on Twitter), he can breathe far easier regarding his 2026 schedule than in any year before.
So can co-favorite J.J. Spaun, another major mover this year. Spaun enters this week seeking his first win since the U.S. Open victory that catapulted him into the top 10, a jump of more than 100 spots after he ended 2024 ranked 119th.
The same can’t be said for players who are looking to secure a PGA Tour card for 2026. That group includes Austin Eckroat, who won last year’s World Wide Technology Championship by one stroke over Justin Lower and Carson Young.
Could any players in this week’s field have the same rise in 2026 that Griffin and Spaun did this year? Time will tell, but there are numerous names worth taking note of as you peruse World Wide Technology Championship odds at top online sportsbooks such as BetOnline.

World Wide Technology Predictions and Picks
Tournament Winner Pick: Max Greyserman
After nearly winning the Wyndham Championship and finishing in the top five in four of his last six tournaments of 2024, Greyserman has not quite taken the next step this year.
But after following a tie for second at the Rocket Classic with five missed cuts in six events, Greyserman contended for the win in his most recent event, finishing one stroke behind Xander Schauffele at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan last month.
That should give him some confidence entering the World Wide Technology Championship, where he finished fourth last year.
Greyserman has come close to capturing his first PGA Tour victory multiple times over the last year-plus, and it is only a matter of time before he gets one. Will it be this week? I like his chances, and if you do as well, you should also lock him in to land in the top 20 (+120), top 10 (+300), and top five (+650).
Other Tournament Picks
Ben Griffin to Finish in the Top 10 (+150 at BetOnline)
Cousin Ben is a worthy co-favorite this week, and even if he is not my pick to win, I still expect him to do the family name proud once again this week.
Since missing consecutive cuts at the John Deere Classic and Open Championship, Griffin has finished tied for 11th (Wyndham Championship), tied for ninth (FedEx St. Jude Championship), tied for 12th (BMW Championship), tied for 10th (Tour Championship), and second (Procore Championship) in his last five PGA Tour events.
In his previous World Wide Technology Championship appearances, he finished tied for 23rd in 2023 and tied for 24th in 2024, but it is unlikely that he will finish tied for 25th in 2025.
Garrick Higgo to Finish in the Top 20 (+125 at BetOnline)
Higgo finished tied for sixth in last year’s World Wide Technology Championship, when he entered the tournament ranked 339th. Unfortunately, that wasn’t quite a springboard for him, as he was ranked 325th.
But a win in the Corales Puntacana Championship in April meant he no longer had to do that, and after not finishing inside the top 25 in any of the seven events that followed, he has found some form again in the FedEx Cup Fall slate.
He impressively finished tied for seventh in the Procore Championship, was the 54-hole leader and runner-up in the Sanderson Farms Championship, and tied for fourth in the Baycurrent Classic.
This recent surge has moved him from 150th to 77th in the world, and he is seventh in the FedEx Cup Fall standings (57th overall). Success this week will only bring more moves and an even better outlook for 2026, which could be a huge year with the President’s Cup in mind.
What a difference a year makes for Higgo, and if he contends for the win like he is capable of doing, another significant move in the rankings is on the horizon.
Other WWT Championship picks to consider (all with odds courtesy of BetOnline) include Rico Hoey to finish in the top 20 (evens), Nico Echavarria to finish in the top 20 (+180), and Justin Lower to finish in the top 20 (+300).
Hoey had two really good finishes (tied for fourth in the Baycurrent Classic and second in the Bank of Utah Championship), Echavarria tied for sixth in last year’s WWT Championship, and Lower tied for second in this tournament last year and equaled his best finish of the season last time out (tied for third in the Bank of Utah Championship).
