A field of 50 head for the Olympia Fields Country Club as the FedExCup playoffs continue.

BMW Championship Betting Preview

The FedExCup playoffs go up a notch this weekend when the BMW Championship gets underway.

The top 50 players from last week's FedEx St Jude Championship have qualified for this next stage and a chance to claim one of the 30 spots for next week's Tour Championship.

Lucas Glover overcame Patrick Cantlay in a playoff last week to claim the title and shoot himself up to number four in the FedEx Cup rankings.

The pair finished one shot clear of Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy, who have shown top form at the perfect time in recent weeks.

McIlroy still trails Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler in the FedEx standings, though has finished inside the top 9 in his last nine starts.

Scheffler heads into this one as the slight favorite for victory, though, ahead of McIlroy and Rahm.

Patrick Cantlay has won this tournament in the past two runnings and is a worthy fourth favorite in the field.

With the FedExCup starting strokes coming into play at next week's tournament, a big result and performance here could make a huge difference for all 50 players lining up here.

Latest odds for the BMW Championship

Scottie Scheffler is the man at the top of the betting, despite a very slight drop off in form.

As a result, there's a host of big names on the favorite's tail, including multiple recent winners.

McIlroy and Rahm aren't far behind, with Cantlay - the defending champ who has won it the last two years - just behind.

Latest odds at time of writing from DraftKings:

• Scottie Scheffler +650
• Rory McIlroy +700
• Jon Rahm +850
• Patrick Cantlay +1000
• Xander Schauffele +1600
• Viktor Hovland +1600
• Tommy Fleetwood +1800
• Tyrrell Hatton +2200
• Colin Morikawa +2200

What is the best site to bet on the BMW Championship?

This is a monumental weekend for the 50 players that made it through last week's competition.

That means the bookmakers will all be fighting for your custom, with big prices and big offers around.

So, it's vitally important to shop around for the best odds on offer, particularly with different place offerings and the ability to bet on different markets available.

With some of the best odds, a range of different markets and a sensational sign up offer, BetMGM is a very sound choice of betting site.

What bets can I place on the BMW Championship?

As mentioned right above, you can bet on more than just the winner of the tournament.

BetMGM allows you to back the winner if you want, but you can also select who you think will be leading the tournament after Thursday's first round at much, much bigger odds.

While DraftKings allow you to pick who will be the leading player from their continent (i.e top European - Jon Rahm).

And there's the option of selecting your golfer to make a hole in one across the four days at monster odds, too.
