🏆 Who is the favorite to win BMW Championship?
Scottie Scheffler (+290)
Scottie Scheffler enters the BMW Championship as the betting favorite because he continues to set the standard on the PGA Tour. His elite ball-striking gives him a consistent advantage from tee to green, while his improved putting has made him even more difficult to beat when he gets into contention.
Scheffler has also proven he can handle the pressure of the FedExCup Playoffs, consistently delivering strong finishes against the game’s best fields. With his combination of consistency, recent form, and ability to separate himself on demanding golf courses, it is no surprise that Scheffler sits atop the betting board this week.
💰 Pick to win BMW Championship
Here's my early pick to win BMW Championship as part of our golf picks this week.
Sam Burns (+1800)
Sam Burns has the game and recent pedigree to make a serious run at the BMW Championship title. He remains one of the PGA Tour’s most complete players, combining elite iron play with the ability to get hot on the greens. Burns also has plenty of experience competing against the strongest fields and has shown he can close when positioned near the top of the leaderboard.
His balanced skill set should translate well to a demanding playoff environment, where consistency and timely birdies are critical. If Burns can put himself in contention entering Sunday, he has the talent to finish the job.
