BMW Championship 2023 Odds

The BMW Championship will only feature the top 50 players on the FedEx Cup standings.

Not only will players be able to compete for a $20 million purse this weekend but a great weekend could help push them into contention for the Tour Championship.

Only the top 30 players will qualify for the PGA Tour’s biggest purse next weekend.

The FedEx Cup Playoffs field is led once again by the three biggest names in golf with Scottie Scheffler (+700), Rory McIlroy (+700), and Jon Rahm (+1000).

While McIlroy had the best weekend at the St. Jude Championship, all three players are guaranteed to qualify for the Tour Championship.

On the other hand, Patrick Cantlay (+1200) is on the cusp of making history. He’ll look to three-peat the event after two consecutive wins.

BMW Championship 2023 Picks and Predictions

The BMW Championship will be full of great storylines as the best golfers of the 2023 PGA Tour season compete for final spots in the Tour Championship.

Rory McIlroy (+700)

McIlroy opens as one of the favorites this weekend at the BMW Championship. While it took him until the 2023 Genesis Scottish Invitational to pick up his first win, McIlroy has been pretty consistent during the late part of the season.

Since the PGA Championship, McIlroy hasn’t finished outside the top nine.

After winning the Scottish Open, McIlroy finished T6 at the Open Championship and T3 last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. His consistent play has him trending toward another win.

Patrick Cantlay (+1200)

While Patrick Cantlay has not recorded a win this season, he’s been knocking on the door for quite some time and the BMW Championship seems like a perfect spot for that to happen. He’s won the event for two consecutive years and will be attempting a three-peat at Olympia Fields.

Last week, Cantlay almost won the FedEx St. Jude Championship but lost in the playoffs for a second-place win. He gained strokes in every major category this past weekend. Cantlay is a great bet as goes into this weekend in top form and on the cusp of another victory.

Jordan Spieth (+3300)

Following the first round last weekend at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Jordan Spieth found himself leading the field. He was still in contention for a trophy on Sunday but ended up slipping to a T6 finish.

While it was his seventh top 6 performance this season, Spieth is still looking for his first win of the season.

Spieth had an outstanding weekend where he tied for the top spot in total putts and finished second in strokes gained: around the green.

One of the top sleepers picks this weekend, take Jordan Speith to win the 2023 BMW Championship.
